Unreachable things

There are things in all our lives that we wish we could have but we could never

reach them or get them. There are millions of wishes and millions of sleepless

nights in wondering if and why and why not and is it fair and did I do something

wrong. I have quite a few of them but my biggest wish was being a mom and it was

not given to me. I was really sick when I was a child so even after all the therapies

and pain there was no result.

The girl represents the feeling of sadness and loss and hope (even if there is none).

This series is really digging in my own life like I never intended but it feels right to

take all out somehow.

Thank you for participating and commenting or giving a critique,

love Ulla

A poignant photo and narrative, you have captured and presented this well... Mike

Your thought shared about the pain in your own life, I am sure will resonate with other women, and men. I do feel that you are a very loving person and that there have to be so many children that you have befriended over the years that must feel like your  'children'. Beautiful work with this composition and your lovely little model follows your direction so well. Processing is excellent and the soft 'matt or haze' in the background is very appealing. (I may be wrong...but I have tried something similar but not happy with my results as of yet, this is lovely). 

When life is not offering what you hoped for, then be assured that everybody is suffering in this world. You are not a victim, although it might feel so. Try to accept the pain. Have compassion with yourself and hold the hope high that life will offer you something instead that will make your life worth while living. Take it for granted that every life has a purpose, so has your life.

Beautiful, though very sad image.

Thank you all for your comments and words of support and thank you for being a part of this work.

No, I don't see myself as a victim, it's been some time and I've learned to live with it. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt anymore and considering my recent events it all came out even stronger. I've started this project to clean the present of my demons and to acknowledge them and put them out for everyone to see. It's a part of growing up, going further and trying to surpass the frustrations and fears of my life. It's just one step, but it's a beginning.  I had no idea this will brig out so much and I'll share so much, but it's refreshing. And... I'm not done yet, there are still parts of my life to reveal, dark parts that are buried even deeper.

Love, Ulla

Thank you for sharing your very personal story with us. I remember the last photo of this little girl. She is a very pretty, patient model, and you make her extremely beautiful, even with the sad face. Somehow, lately, I am drawn to your dark images. They are truly a work of art. I admire your courage in writing your explanations accompany your beautiful photographs. God bless. Best regards, Janice.

This is very pretty with context. Thank you for sharing.
