Nov,20th 2022.

This Day is very Special to me. And I’m not really the type of person to put my life like this out there. But feel it’s necessary, for anyone who has gone through it, or is going through it. To see they are not alone in it.
And that things do get better. 

While in alot of these photos you can see a smiling face, what was behind it was a person struggling to get by. 

Everyday was a battle. Stuck in a spot that mentally and physically, drained me everyday.

Drinking every weekend,
Being around the wrong people that didn’t care for me as much as I cared for them.
Feeling alone. Lost. And on auto pilot most days.

So today a year ago marks the day I no long wanted to feel, empty,feel like a burden to anyone. Or myself.

Since that day I’ve made it a goal to get back on track.

Not only my mental but physical health. Going to therapy going to the gym eating right

Getting back to my Love of Photography/Videography.

And I can say without a doubt I’m very thankful and blessed to be where I am today. Everyone I’ve met along this very hard and rough year. You all have changed my life. And I couldn’t be more thankful for all of these moments I’ve had so far. ❤️ 
I’m right where I need to be and it’s only up from here.🙏🏼

If anyone is struggling. Feel free to reach out. Mens mental health is a serious issue in todays world. 

Nobody should feel discouraged to ask for help.
