LMAO 😭

It’s a beauty. I’m so sorry you have to sell it. I still have one of my track bikes (which has Flite as a saddle, hah), but I’m too sick to even sell it.

To end this, I want to acknowledge something. Seeing my now friend @andrewgiffordphoto.bsky.social ME photography had a big influence on me getting the courage to start sharing my photographs. His work really encouraged me, and I just wanted to say thank you, Andrew!

My online exhibition, ‘Enduring’, is up on the A Quiet Storm website. 10/10

Our lives are on the line here. My life is on the line. I don’t take these photographs because I want to — I do it because I need to. 9/10

We need to raise this kind of awareness, because we don’t have other choices. Most of us are too sick to participate in protests or go out into the streets to demand change. So, we do our best on social media and through other accessible means. 8/10

The best moments are when someone tells me they felt seen through my work, that they are not alone in this. I’ve also found true love in my life, something that wouldn’t have happened without sharing my story the way I have. 7/10

I have given my everything to create these photographs. What did I get in return? Even more: I’ve met the most amazing people, whether they are ill themselves or simply want to support and care about others. 6/10

I need this work, and I have always made it for myself first and foremost. It’s my escape from the agonising reality — a way to take distance and observe, rather than feel it all. It gives me purpose, so my suffering isn’t in vain. 5/10
