Hi there Ruby... I have just browsed through your wonderful gallery, and loved all your photos - you have such a graceful presence in all of them, and the soft colors add an extra element of beauty!
Whilst browsing your dA profile, I couldn't help but notice your devID info and felt very sad to read about about your past relationship and how hurt you must have felt... I also read one of your journals too where you said you were ugly. Please, please don't ever think that of yourself!! It is normal to criticize yourself when a relationship ends, but you are beautiful, inside and out, and don't let anyone make you think otherwise.
I know I don't know you personally, but I can relate to you in a small way. I recently went through heart break with an awful abrupt ending of a relationship... I was so shocked, confused, hurt, sad, angry... everything under the sun. But it does get better, I promise you that. Remember that love doesn't only come from a partner, it comes from your family and friends too. The support you have from everyone around you will help you get through it. Let time heal the pain, and let people in your life again.
I completely understand that you don't feel as inspired to keep creating art, but you have such a wonderful talent that it would be a very sad thing to waste. And we definitely need more creative Australian photographers on dA! Do it for yourself, not for anyone else- photographer should be an outlet of your emotions. Show all the feelings you have through it, I guarantee you will find your inspiration again.
I hope this message cheers you up if you do need cheering up, and please don't stop taking photos!
