My mental health has always been at the forefront of my human experience. I like to think I am getting the full spectrum of emotions in this lifetime. I’ve been feeling a lot of darkness lately, with everything going on in the world and in my personal life, it often feels like small glimmers of light in an all consuming black void surrounding us.
Yesterday I got to shoot with one of my favorite photographers @soothing.sinners grateful for his eerie, macabre style. I have been choosing to turn my darkness into art a lot lately….So this shoot couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you as always for sharing your art with the world Josh 🙏
Sharing this feels vulnerable, probably because it is. Be kind pls.
Everyday kinda feels like a carnival ride of every human emotion possible. In one day I usually feel: despair, hopelessness, anger, joy, love, appreciation, sexiness, isolation, exhaustion, excitement…
It’s been hard to find my creative outlets lately because it feels so complicated to take the time to create art. But I have to remind myself that it is allowed, even while so much evil is surrounding us constantly. I refuse to let it crush me. We have to keep creating, keep finding the beauty in this life. The beauty within ourselves, and share it with others. It’s actually our duty.
I’ve especially been feeling so detached from my sexiness lately… so last night I decided to do a little self portrait session with the intention of feeling beautiful and sexy. Sometimes I forget how empowered I am and seeing it reflected in photos makes me believe it when my brain feels so detached from that truth. I have been feeling so small and insignificant lately. And this helps.
