This is kinda how I see myself when I feel powerful. Not like I could punch through a brick wall or something, but powerful in the sense that I'm making a difference in this world, and I'm a positive influence on people.

This picture came to mind while listening to Imagine Dragons' songs "Radioactive," "Demons," and "It's Time," three absolutely beautiful songs that I love. They're the kind of songs that I'd listen to when I'm feeling down or need a boost to get through the day. (Odd as that may be, I find songs with a slightly darker mood like "Demons" uplifting.)

I used to be a person that felt the exact opposite: weak, unable to fend for herself, not making a difference and trying to make her world better (small as it may be). I didn't have a lot of friends, and the few friends I had weren't exactly always there for me. The friends I have now are there for me, appreciate me, and help me be a girl who's confident of herself and what she does.

Photoshop, my former enemy, is slowly becoming my friend, even if the program is a pain in the butt now and again. Clothing, however, is fighting back as strongly as ever. But I think I'm slowly getting the upper hand--just not over hands.
