Personal Words

The lyrics I chose for this project is Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis.

"I didn't need the pain. Once or twice was enough. And it was all in vain. Time starts to pass. But something happened with you. My heart melts into the ground. Found something true. And everyone's looking round. Thinking I'm going crazy. But I don't care what they say. I'm in love with you. They try to pull me away. But they don't know the truth. My heart's crippled by the vein. That I keep on closing. You cut me open and I. Keep bleeding love. You cut me open. Trying hard not to hear. But they talk so loud. Their piercing sounds fill my ears. Try to fill me with doubt. Yet I know that the goal is to keep me from falling. Than the rush that comes with your embrace. And in this world of loneliness. I see your face. Yet everyone around me. Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe. But I don't care what they say. I'm in love with you."

I chose these lyrics because I thought of them being so nice and the meaning that they give to you. For example is you just read it just like how it is in a paragraph then you get a better understanding of what she means. This is because we all go through this once in our life and sometimes we are just tired of having all of this pain. That sometimes we just don't want to go through all of this pain again and we are just tired of it. That we shouldn't let ourselves fall down just because of some other persons rumors. I used this song because it has so much meaning to it and for me it has a lot of meaning.

Social Issue: "Don't give up and make the most of what you have to live"

In the very top picture there is this girl that is checking her blood sugar. One the other picture which is the bottom one there is this girl injecting herself. It is pretty dark because of all the colors that I was using. I really like to do this and to inform everyone else about the difficulties of these types of diseases. There are some very different kinds of shades of gray so I was making sure that there would be different shades of gray so that the picture wouldn’t look so dull and simple. There were some dark brown colors and some other ones that were light and that was the only way that I could get the nice shades of grey. In a way it’s a very weird kind of picture though it makes you think so much because of the quote that I put in the picture.

My issue is taking about is that it is hard to live with a condition that you have to be taking care of yourself. My issue talks about taking care of yourself and not letting diabetes or any other diseases take over your life. That in order to make the most out of your life you have to take care of yourself. That it takes a lot of work being able to take care of you. This is because diabetes you cannot eat all kinds of sweets and if you do eat sweets it’s only a little bit. It hurts a lot because you see everyone else not caring about how much they can eat and what they eat. On the contrary when you’re diabetic you have to count your carbohydrates and you have to be careful with anything that you eat. In the beginning it’s hard because you’re so used to eating anything you want to eat and then changing your life in a blink of an eye it’s really hard. Especially when you have to check your blood sugar every day and having to inject yourself because it’s the only way you can be living or the only way you can stay alive. Seeing all these other people not having to worry about all of that and that they don’t have to suffer so much and they don’t have to do all of this in order to just stay alive. It’s better to take care of yourself so that you don’t end up with diabetes because you just didn’t care about yourself. That it's hard to live with diabetes although we should just get on with our life because we have a whole life ahead of us.
