Self Portrait Tuesday, Oh no...

Self portrait Tuesday is about expression and exploration, you are supposed to post a self-portrait and what it is supposed to mean. If you would like more information click on the SPT link. This is my first time doing this and I hate cameras and the pressure of being "artistic" so I'm having some problems. I experimented and decided on these two. I choose the first one, the one with hair in my face and eyes closed, because I have always gone through life feeling like if I just closed my eyes or ignored it long enough, it would eventually go away. I went through my un-expected pregnancy (16yrs old) trying to ignore the ever growing belly, and I have come to the conclusion, that it just doesn't work, it only makes things harder and more difficult to deal with. So I posted the second picture and the resolution to try harder, to face life head on, warts, blemishes, crooked noose and all.
