a portrait of real life, not of fabricated cinema.

I am Candace Parker. a Christian in love with the Lord. a photographer. an artist. always learning. always growing. born in '90. currently in California. I do this for me; I do this to remember.

5 years ago on Superbowl Sunday I tried to kill myself.

the one time I’m happy I failed.

I’m sharing this for the sole reason that I’m tired of hiding myself away from the world.  I have been so guarded my whole life, never truly talking to anybody about anything of great importance.  I’m just as screwed up as the next person and I’m also just as normal and boring as the next.  Unfortunately I’ve bottled up all of my anger and hurt over the years and it’s really been coming back to bite me lately.  I’m going to start seeing a counselor this week to work through the issues of my childhood among other recent happenings.  Not talking things out has turned out to be more destructive than I ever could have guessed.  Here’s to new beginnings.
