I promised a life update back in… January? And then life happened 😅 but better late than never right 😂🙏🏻

So the beginning of the year was a bit of a shitshow for me, but thankfully things are finally stabilizing and I'm doing a lot better than I was for a minute. The rest of this month and April are a blessed calm before the...

Best of luck with the new job, your art is beautiful, and life is about fulfilment whatever your path, might as well make it count for you ❤️

Well, I promised a real update "soon" a month ago, and then got hit by the month from hell, so. Among other things, one of my best friends passed away at the beginning of January. Every time I've tried to write about anything else or make a life update since then, I end up thinking about my friend. So. Life update eventually. But in the...

God damn, this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

And just like that, I'm crying. I couldn't even begin to imagine how you and his loved ones must have felt when he passed away. He no doubt left a very vivid, indelible mark on this world. He used the limited time he had to enrich others, to uplift others, what a great human being. Fair play, Justin, people like you restore my faith in humanity.

Promised a real update soon on my last post, but a day later one of my best friends passed away. Had to get a last minute flight to NY, and I’ve been here for a week now for all the services and helping his mom clean up his place with a few other friends.

My friend has been dealing with health issues for most of...

My local roller skating group had our third annual Halloween get together last night. I was originally planning to go as Sailor Moon, but had some costume failures and ultimately decided it wasn't safe to skate in. Ended up using an old llama mascot costume I inherited from an old job, and have no real reason to be hanging onto, aside from the fact that...

I've never personally shot with then but these make me want to...I feel like when I look at a Polaroid it's almost like looking at a memory,the hazy look truly makes it feel like a moment captured in time

I was supposed to be on a 6 week long backpacking trip starting last week. Health stuff hasn’t really allowed me to be in a place to do that so deferred the longer time off from work to hopefully next year. Still taking a couple weeks at least though for a road trip. Maybe not the kind of trip I was hoping for - but...

I've been putting this health update off but - despite the initial good news I got a few weeks ago, biopsy results were actually not great. Looks like my stomach lining is severely - potentially permanently? - damaged, so that's fun. I am looking at long term management vs treatment afterall. This is honestly still a better answer than I could have gotten, but I'm...

Oh that has to be tough. I always feel so lucky to live in AU whenever i read stories like this. Just can’t imagine that level of expense when falling Ill especially for an ongoing condition.

Again ... best wishes!

Still waiting on biopsy results, but otherwise all the news from my medical procedures this week is good. I have a pretty severe infection in my stomach lining, but it's extremely treatable. Already on new meds and a different restricted diet (though less restrictive than what I've been doing for the last two months) and should be fully back to normal within a month or...

So happy for you that it’s not a serious diagnosis and that there is a plan. Frustrating when there’s a problem and they find “nothing wrong”. Stay strong💪🏻. You look amazing😍
samihain:
I'm so happy you got some answers and that they are less scary than what they originally suspected. ❤️
