My story... ;

​

Instead of ending my story, I pick up my camera to tell it ;

 

Every image I capture is a moment I won the battle over my mind and chose to stay. 

 

As someone who is autistic with debilitating PTSD, I know what it feels like to be lost, drowning in darkness and intrusive thoughts. I know hopelessness.

 

I share my story through my lens not because I've found all the answers, but because I'm still here hoping. Shot entirely on a smartphone to inspire all amateur photographers out there to understand that true passion doesn't require expensive gear, it requires courage to work with what we have. To make no excuses.

 

If you're reading this from a dark place, know that you don't need permission, perfect equipment, or a pain-free life to bring light to this world. You just need to choose to stay one more day, grab your phone, and go out seeking today's glimmer. 

 

Share your glimmer with me. I want to experience the life you chose today over the alternative.

 

For the lost. For the hopeless. For the ones still fighting.

 

Our story isn't over yet ;
