mia

I've been wanting to write about this picture for some time. I think this picture really doesn't need any words in the first place so I'll just share my thoughts about it.

I look at this picture and I think it just says "Haiti". That's it. That's all you need right there.

However I think it's very ironic that I caught Mia in this pose. I look at this picture and think, this is not the typical Mia that I know. She has attitude, spunk, confidence, energy, and can never sit still when there is music playing. That's just it, people looking in from the outside would just see this quiet girl keeping to herself but if you go meet her your life is suddenly filled with color and energy, just like the country of Haiti. This is how the world views Haiti, black & white, depressing...but I ask you to look closer and to call her by name.

If you are willing this is what you might find.
