When it was taken, I was trying out the concept of wearing glasses and had just reached a level of modified stability after recovering from the first bout of homelessness by extreme circumstances.
I was at last feeling a bit recovered then, and that the world was again opening up for me.
I was determined to make the most of it – as can be seen in my hopeful and youth-filled smiling.
I reflect in review how it is said that negative patches in one’s life can be seen over time as just blip-hiccups in the relative scheme of comparative positives.
Yet, it seems that my life’s trends have been full of managing some sort of substantial loss and tragedy.
That being said, I can still hope and reach for someday flipping circumstances to represent more in my favor.
