Introduction

00

Sometimes I want melt into the world around me because, If I could just get closer, I think I'd understand it better. understand myself better. Join me in what my friends would call an Abi Side quest featuring the photography taken and the writings that came from it.

Fear.

01

I am not brave, or strong.

I am scared. Terrified. Something I am sure everyone has been once before

To face danger is not always a courageous feat.

Sometimes it's a patient slow burn as you get to know each other.

Coward meeting danger and taking it on a date.

I digress...

A coward defines change because sometimes it takes realizing you were afraid to begin with to know what your fighting for.

About

I don't think fear is a bad thing anymore. Sometimes facing your fears feels like looking fear in the eye and flipping it off. or putting on a pair of pants without jumping...you have to know what you fear well to fight it

PRESENCE. To feel. To Live.

About

There are skeletons in the basement. Where you choose to push down your emotions. yourself. Something died. Forgotten. Still hanging on by a construction of cobwebs brooding in fermented fear you cultivated. if you took a step down those stairs, would anything change? or are things better left untouched. Unquestioned? pure. in the basement lies a conversation, a memory. But can't rock bottom be a foundation to build on too?

I want to feel the rain tickle my face as it runs down my cheek, like the tears that should have fell. I have decided I want to be here. to learn the gift of being present

Identity- A Child's Tale.

03

Once upon a time, a sunflower seed met a grumpy worm. "what do you want?" the worm asked. "I want to reach the sun!" Said the sunflower with a smile. "NO!" said the worm, so shaken by fear he nearly split in two. "The sun has burned me many times before. it is safe in the soil." But the Sunflower can't help but grow. its only in their nature.

About

As a child we knew who we were. why do we forget that when we grow up? It's time we relearned how to be whimsical and free. In Boldness lies the adventures we seek.

Identity. Part 2

04

After a long time getting taller and taller while basking in the sun, the sunflower wilted and met the worm again. "was it worth it?" asked the worm. "I would do it again if I could, thank you for helping me..." said the sunflower as the worm watched the last petals fade away. The grumpy worm smiled in wonder for the first time in a very long time. "How did they know?" he said wiggling away in FASCINATION.

Thank you for walking with me, see you next time
