You're hopelessly hopeless, I hope so, for you...

About Me

My name is Sarah. Rah is just a nickname I've been given. I live in Los Angeles, work for a post production company, and take photos any chance I can get. I live with one of my best friends who is also my boyfriend (Rick) until I get my own apartment very soon! I'm originally from a small town in Washington, but I've always loved California and moved here with my mom when I was 15 years old. I'm a nice girl and one of my goals in life to just to be happy and successful. I feel like I'm so much closer to that goal now and L.A. is where I want to stay for a while. I love photography and feel like it's something I'm meant to do. It's allowed me to show how I see the world and just how beautiful it really is. I love music as well and the way it impacts your soul. I'm such a hippie at heart (if you couldn't tell already), and I always felt I should have experienced the 1960s and 1970s because music and art seemed to have such an incredible effect and vibe that was only for that part of the past. I cherish the weird but always hope for some ounce of respect and kindness in others, even though I know I won't always get it. I'm not perfect and have made my share of mistakes in the past, but I try everyday to be a better person. I love all the close friends I've made over the last seven or eight years, near or far. My friends amaze me at their unique selves and who they strive to be, and I'm glad I get to be a part of their lives and have them be a part of mine."The unexamined life is not worth living." -Socrates

It’s funny how sometimes the World is silent.

The air stops whistling, no voices are heard, and then you start listening.That happened to me today.
