Miss Melancholy

I've been sitting at my computer for half an hour, trying to think of something cheery and entertaining to write. I type a few sentences, erase them with the backspace key, and then open Tumblr in a tab. After I mindlessly scroll for a minute, I switch back and stare at the picture again. But inspiration isn't striking. The truth is that I'm depressed, and I just don't have anything nice to say at the moment. I'm not sure how much you're allowed to expound upon your mental illness on your style blog, but this is my third "down day" in a row, and even though I know I'll swing up again, I feel pretty disheartened.

I can always fake it for the camera--it's easy to make my facial muscles form a smile. But I have a much harder time forcing out disingenuous pithy paragraphs. I'd rather be honest, anyway. So... there you have it. I'm the opposite of a happy camper.



On a lighter note, I dubbed this look "Disney villain eyebrows"--pretty accurate, right?



Kinda awkward that my skin matches the building in those last two photos. Oops--that's what I get for shooting in the shade!



I look like I'm texting, but I'm actually just fiddling with the camera remote.
