existence is fun. these days i find consistency in going to service weekly and reading scripture by the ocean. the best decision i’ve made is eliminating the idea of outside perception. each step now has far more liberation than before. i thank faith for that honestly. it has allowed me to spread the light inside of me on a consistent basis. i can dance and sing wherever and whenever. i can praise Jesus openly and not fear for how people will accept it. in fact, “fear” is foreign in this space i currently reside in. each step is grounding and earth shattering. i wouldn’t want it any other way. no worldly stakes hold me over anymore. i haven’t conducted a photo shoot in almost two months but find myself at peace with everything around me. new mediums of expression emerge for myself and my community to create through. the bonds in this community with the ones i love, care for, and trust only grow stronger. ironic because back in may, during my most tumultuous moment in recent memory, i vividly recall thinking about how so much was going to be different at this point in the year. yet, here i remain and here i continue onward. exemplifying the consistency and compassion my savior embodied. i enjoy the process of being a work-in-progress. God is slowly crafting myself and everyone around into “perfection.” and i’ve been enjoying the moments in between that make the journey worth it. dumps like this are a reminder of that process and how we actualize it. the monotony in conjunction with the highs. both are big blessings and i’m appreciative for the love and support. always and forever 🤍🫂
