The Kris Bliss tumblr

I love photography, and I take pictures as a hobby, and I haven’t in awhile.  People have been asking me, “Kristin, where is your Nikon, why haven’t you been taking pictures?”  To tell the truth… My camera is sick.  I kind of broke it.  It still works, but when I turn it on, the lens makes a weird noise, and it doesn’t extend out all of the way.  When I take pictures, you can see the lens in the top righthand corner blocking the frame.  It’s sad.  All I need to do is take it to the shop, but I fear that it’s going to be something bigger than it is!  I don’t even know how it happened smh!  I’m going to face my fear and get it done asap.  I miss photographing!!!!!

I keep seeing re-blogged pictures of people I know.  It’s very weird.  Didn’t even think these friends were even on tumblr! Umm…

Food is the devil when you’re on a diet.  No. late. night. snacking.

Enjoy being young, while you’re still young!  You can try to control everything that happens to you as much as you want, but please realize it’s all in God’s hands!

Who would have known that one little boy would go on to achieve so much?

9 years ago on this day I was over my aunt’s house, days before the start of 8th grade. I had just purchased she and Alicia Keys’s album from Walmart the day before and was ecstatic about it. I woke up the next day to my aunt waking me up to inform me that Aaliyah had died in a plane accident. I was devastated. For a long time I stopped listening to her music… That was my way of dealing with her death. Now I play her music to celebrate her life!! R.I.P. Aaliyah!!

You may miss someone, and get a little upset if all of the sudden you don’t see them or hear from them all the time, but just give them space.  Don’t take things so personally… You never know what someone is going through, and all you can do is be there for them when they reach out to you.  If you feel like you’re being ignored, then bring it up to that friend, don’t get passive aggressive, don’t talk about them behind their back.  Not a good look.  And don’t act like you “don’t care” or have a “whatever” attitude, because it’s your friend, so obviously you do… Just let them breathe, it’ll all be fine.

:D
