HI there.. Firstly, I was going through old public posts of mine and found a comment you left to something, so I came to your journal. We have a few interests in common and quite a few friends in common, so I've added you to my friends list. I'd be honored if you wanted to add me back, but no pressure.
Secondly, I'm so sorry to hear that the van was robbed and you had so much stolen. That completely sucks!!! It sounds a bit like you're blaming yourself here. It isn't your fault that your things were stolen. Stop blaming yourself and do NOT let this bullshit stop you from doing what you love to do! I suggest you don't sell the remaining photo equipment you do have. You said that you didn't deserve it because it wasn't an investment. Think that over again. You may not have paid for these items you received from others, but you sure as hell had an investment in them - of your time, your love, and your energy. You did deserve to have them and you did not deserve to have any of it taken away.
You are not doomed, it only looks that way occasionally. Hang in there!
