Calling it a website doesn’t seem to capture my motivation to create this space. Instead, I welcome you to my humble abode. This digital space can be likened to my bedroom. I have let you into my world, and now you are sitting on my hypothetical bed, wondering what will happen next (nothing too sexy, calm down). Right now, it’s a blank canvas, but eventually, I hope to give you the essence of what it feels like to take a sly and completely inappropriate peek into someone’s diary (that someone being myself).

Why have you subjected yourself to such a vulnerable position, you ask? (Somehow this is becoming all too suggestive). That reason can be split into three important components: documentation, creation, and connection.

DOCUMENTATION is the record of my thoughts, feelings, memories, ideas, or intentions. It’s my way of getting out of my head and keeping track of where I am in the present moment. You could say, documentation is stepping into my awareness. Stepping out of my body and into the cinema of my mind. It’s a perspective that can only be embodied when completely in the moment. It’s an opportunity to view my identity in the third person. I let go of my ego, what I believe to be true and remind myself of who I am.

I express myself through CREATION. If documentation is the film, then I am the director. Though often I spread myself thin when it comes to choosing a medium to use, I believe that expression should remain free. I choose not to box myself in with rules and regulations, I “go with the flow”. I’m messy. I’m a kid. And with great curiousity, I take in the richness of the world around me and birth it into something tangible.

So? What is the point? Why would I even create or document anything at all? I’ve come to find that being vulnerable is a vital part (and means) of connecting with those who value you for who you are. I value CONNECTION, because it makes me feel understood. Connection gives me the fuel and inspiration I need to create. Connection gives me confidence to be me.

Nowadays, there are many ways to broadcast your life across the world. Whilst I am 20-something and heavily influenced under the grip of the digital age, I choose not to use social media. Social media does not give me confidence.

And though I try my very best to present to you my pristine and “aesthetic” (ugh) life as it is, that is not my aim. This bedroom of mine gets untidy at times, paint chips off the walls and I get bored so I rearrange the furniture. It won’t always stay the same, but I invite you to observe as we grow into ourselves through the adventures life gifts us with.
