Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier.... I think she was an amazing person that did not belong in this world. Her mind and point of view of the world separates her from everyone else. I also think that same uniqueness of hers made her a lonely person. Her childhood may not have been nice and she may have lacked that motherly feeling that she later on went to pursue as a baby sitter. At the last days of her life I think she really needed a friend, but when the only person she practically had let her down unintentionally, it looked like she kind of gave up.  Her journey in life and the adventures she had is very inspiring though. I do believe she did live a nice life, but I have a feeling she was not able to get what she really wanted. Those last days it seemed as if all she really wanted was to be part of a loving family, to be loved and receive that affection she really needed. She was not understood, and by the end of her life, she seemed really broken.

 I think when she said she was kind of a spy she was referring to how she watches everything around her and captures those precious moments without many people really noticing her. They just thought of her as a weird mysterious person. But that is what a spy is - mysterious.

She was a rare enigma. An inspiration to me if I'm to be honest.
