Suffocate me with what i need

Suffocate me with what i need

Waiting for better skies, even before we realise we are who we choose and we place our faith were we place our feet. Walking everyday in danger and hope, footsteps echoing our unvoiced desires. Inching towards it, stretching my entanglement of incomplete curiosities – it’s a mess and the most vulnerable expression I can materialise to myself. A flower doesn’t grow without sunlight and rain; who…

YOU ARE SO BLESSED If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who won’t survive the week… If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 20 million people around the world… If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world… If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world… If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy… If your parents are still married and alive, you are very rare, especially in todays society. If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not… If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer God’s healing touch… If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all…

“Whatever life may send your way — make the best of it. Don’t waste your time and energy worrying about it. Instead, find a way to do something about it. Learn from it, adjust to it, be strong, be flexible and be your best in every situation.”

…..men always quiz me when i claim to like something they like too. cause in their minds i’m either a.) lying to appeal to them/gain their approval or b.) only capable of having a superficial understanding of the subject and they need to “expose” me

These photos are about people easing into relationships that feel so familiar, as if being in their company is returning home. It’s trust where you didn’t expect it, adventure in small segments of our days we neglect and forget are important. The appreciation to moments and people that will come and go, the differences and stories that could seperate people but by some cause, choose not to.

These photos remind me that I live for people.

Introducing alley walks and library talks. Where we follow shadows until the walls of the city grow dark skin, where we contemplate the words sketched on the spines of unloved books. Emerging is the night imbued with questions and advice, with the rope of youth limiting our wisdom. Our ambitions can fuel tanks, rockets, as it can just as well be the onset in an ignition of flames. Revolution. We are the future and the present; potential to spread ideas and our shared novelty of a better world, despite objections of naivety. So fight us, bite us, but we will continue exploring the concealed in nightfall, the secrecy and obscurities of dusk. Not seeking for utopia, but the people standing in the way.

We are unearthing our very purpose.

A black and white series

A black and white series

Every single shot resinates with me. Like ink to skin, holding so much purpose, pain, significance and interpretation. To offer consecutive descriptions however, would be a crime; although they connect to my story – line of life even – there lives a something I can’t take credit for. The overlaps and series of events which took these real situations to the surface, to me, it was a call. I simply…

there are too many versions of me in the universe! the girl i bumped into but didn’t stop to say sorry to has a version of me in her mind. the guy i let borrow my homework has another version of me in his. even my friends, my family, and everyone i’ve ever met in my life has their own version of me in their minds that i’m not even aware of
