My name is Savannah Jaye.
I'm a photo student at Savannah College of Art and Design.
I have a passion for people and their stories.
I'm a writer, photographer, and wanderer, but I'm not sure in which order.
I'm living my dream and interning for TWLOHA this spring.
What you read on this blog are my thoughts and my words, and are in no way endorsed or sponsored by TWLOHA.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Playing Pretend.
There is a funny thing about lying: eventually the truth has to come out.
So you lie.
And I find out you lie.
And you realize I’m not an idiot and I’ve figured it out.
But you’re not brave enough to admit the truth.
And I’ll never be confident enough to confront the lie.
So we’ll just stop talking to avoid the elephant in the room.
And on one hand it deeply hurts, because I want our friendship to be a place where love and honesty can abound—even if it means initially hurting the other person—because relationships are really all about truth, not comfort, at their root. But on the other hand, I’m extremely thankful for it, because just as much as I’m sick of the lies that have been fed to me, I’m honestly sick of all of the lies I’ve been telling myself even more.
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth, only soft-soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
Clive Staples.
