...in love


"...in love" by Oprisco

Oprisco is a Ukrainian photographer and artist who takes us on a heart-wrenching journey of love. With each picture he tells a story; he starts off with longing and lust, then carries us through love and, finally, gently drops us off at break-up and loss. Through it all he reminds us that love is one of those experiences that we all go through in life and that, as cliche as it sounds, it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. This is one of my favorite pictures out of his entire collection. In the arms of someone you love everyone else seems to blur and pass you by. Oprisco perfecty captures that feeling vividly. If I were to guess the thought going through this couple's mind it would be, "you're all I need".
I genuinely feel touched by this photo.

Big Teddy


Teddy Bear Love

I admit the little girl in me wants a big big BIG teddy bear just like this. Ridiculously adorable. Nothing would make me happier than to curl up with a huge teddy bear when I'm feeling stressed and lonely. Surrounded with soft fur and balls of cotton I could fall asleep every night with a big ol grin on my face. C:
