Good quote for the look on her face. She's looks very tired.

Good candid and b/w. The expression of the main person in the picture is very meaningful, and the title is perfect for the situation. Well done-

Is a virtue so they say but she looks as if she's had enough, I love shots like these as one can spend ages just trying to work out what the expressions mean. Jolly good stuff ;O)

I'm not patient at all... even though I try my best... for me it's not simply learn to wait... it's beeing aware of illusions.

Great title, the woman seems like she at the end of it ... Nice I like Rian idea too ;)

Evita from Canada
The heaviness in this woman's life got captured perfectly in this shot. Isn't it amazing sometimes how much we hold onto that pulls us down, and do we really have to... What if we were to break free...
Those are all possibilities for each of us to consider.
