Exposure

I'm finally going to start a new life. Up until now, I had not, been living a life that made me truly happy. As soon as I finished High School, I jumped into both a marriage and a career I was not fully, invested in. I had always had a passion for art but I ignored it and I never had a passion for my husband but I ignored that, too. But that all changes now. I'm starting a new class in photography to follow my passions. And, after divorcing my husband, I am ready to meet someone who I can truly fall in love with. I want the passionate love I'd always dreamed of. And although, she's a bit younger than me, I feel myself falling for another student in my class, Paige. But, is she falling for me? I don't know if I believe in love anymore. Watching my parents go through a divorce has really done a number on me. My Mom calls me daily telling me about how much she hates my father. It's sad to know the love that they had for each other died long ago... And, it makes me wonder if true love can ever survive. I'm afraid of commitment, so I simply don't commit. I date around and I like it that way. Until I meet Rylie, an older woman in my photography class. She's beautiful, smart, mature, and I basically love everything about her. But, the more I fall for her, the more afraid I become. It's hard to commit when I'm not sure if love can last, even though I really want it to.
