‘So much more was said in the unsaid’ #lovethemwild From a dream shoot with @lunawoolcott and edited with my ‘Golden Days’ presets - releasing soon!
I just wanted to give an enormous shout out, on this particular day of love... the showering of care I have received on my previous post has been nothing short of magic. The messages and comments and calls and texts of people checking in.... just freaking wow!! I still can’t believe that I’ve built this community around me who care... so much. Together we stand, and it is fiercely strong. For the record, I’m fine. I just have an ugly past trauma that I’ve never dealt with. It’s actually been sitting ok with me lately but there have been long periods of time previously where I can’t stop... like driving or showering without crying and reliving those moments. I figure it’s a form of ptsd but that’s up to a pro to decide. I’m an anxious person at the best of times and I’m just ready to offload it. As for my friend.... he clearly wasn’t ok. I’m grateful to be able to use this platform to end the stigma of mental health. I’m grateful to be able to use this space to encourage others to reach out and check in with their friends, family, or even that barista who seemed to be having a bad day and just see if they’re ok. This shit is so powerful. So much love to ALL of you 🧡
I kept her home from school today because she wanted to be close. I had to go to the doctor and while I was there, requested access to the mental health plan. I finally took another step forward to healing... it’s taken me so long. The doctor told me that it’s no longer available unless you’re physically effected by mental health(?!) and to go and google some phone numbers to call about abuse. When I walked outside I received a message that an old friend who I had once been so close to, had commited suicide on Saturday and I’ve never had a more ironic moment happen in my life. Australian government... what the fuck?! Because everyone is more aware of mental health now, you can’t and aren’t willing to fund help? It takes a monumental effort for someone to seek help and now you’re taking away their first steps? Surely that can’t be right. And to the man who loved his friends harder than anyone I’ve ever known. Who wined and dined with me. Made surprise picnics for me. Who wrote songs about me. Who made an entire box of cd’s with songs to each year of my life.... you gave everything 150% and I hope your mind is now at ease. This photo may not be perfect... but the first thing I did when I got home was grab the tripod and get what I could. And that’s all that matters. RIP Benny boy
This year I’m on a journey... a passion project called ‘the creative mother’. Actually that’s just the name I’m using until I come up with something more unique 😝 I want you to be able to come to a space and see in these women’s lives and find solace.... that we all have creative blocks and that the juggle struggle is very real. There are so many glorified mum mags and blogs, especially featuring those in the spotlight and I’m here to shed a more honest light on living in the artist lane through interview while I go in to document their homes and lives. @chasing__unicorns and her tribe up on the blog soon 🌈 🖤 Our Black & White Life Downunder Loop I’ve teamed up with some incredible artists to share a glimpse of life in Australia & New Zealand through a B&W lens #blackandwhitedownunderloop Next up the hugely talented: @aimeeglucinaphotography
