I used my gallexy broken phone.. all natural in more than one way and added a filer and couldn't tell you what the filter is called because I started all my art 2 years ago after my dad passed from cancer.. and I left domestic violence all my picture were healing for me I never thought every one would respond 2 me this way I have Asperger's so speaking up and showing my truth has been my biggest battle I like doing it threw pictures music and my drawingsInspiration
When I was in highschool I had a soulmate a best friend we are both a sexuals ... But what I now know 2b as ergers I couldn't hang out in big crowds so when she went out I didn't go. They were drinking at the river and a man approached on a motor cycle offered her a ride .. a ride I knew I could of protected her from my intuition on these things has saved my own life . He raped her and thank God he brought her back ... When she got back everyone was being put on a boat and given MIPs she never said anything and came to me where our grandparents took her in and gave us peace to heal for a year b4 her dad caught on .. being a single parent is hard ... And we are sneaky lol one of the best years of our life ... Well the last 2 years I've been healing since my dad died and I almost took my life right B4... In this moment of healing I had to let go of the grief haunting me of not being there why can't I just be normal I didn't know what as ergers was or that I had it until adult. I hated myself for it after that day. I had to find a way to release the pain and guilt and I wanted it to be a way that helped me grow in many ways .. I also use it as a prayer and pray 444 all souls to be free of guilt shame greif pain . I never thought I would share them I'm an a sexual I just walk around listening to music taking pictures of all that interest me I have 1000000 of picture over the last 2 years. I'm working on coming out of my hermit shell and I'm glad I found your app because it's gave me a safe place to show my work in a non judgemental place I'm greatful for that and also now I've started posting on Instagram it was hard I don't like facebook. So I tried something new and people are hearing me and following me like on here... It's truly saved my work and voice from never being heard . I thank you for that. Anywho it was taken in honor of my CDawg and healing and prayer.. I really appreciate all the love and support thank youEditing
I don't know what that means ... I assume prep work and no I did this for myself I just used my cracked cellphone and myself because that's me in the picture so it's technically a selfie and I didn't know selfies can be art I never even took a selfie b4 I was 23 ... I didn't want or have a cellphone until I was pregnant with my daughter and it wasn't just me to worry about anymoreIn my camera bag
I only take my back pack .. I have no money myself it contains my sketch book pens weed and utensils and drinks and snacks for my adventure .. I pick a place and go listening 2 music and snapping as I goFeedback
Be true to your self ... If this has taught me anything is follow your self first .. and don't doubt your self ever listen to your gut
