I’ve loved pictures from before I can remember. I’m talking before digital cameras and selfies and Instagram. As way back as we gotta go to cvs and develop the film 😂. So it would make sense that I’ve gone to what others may deem as extreme measures just for a shot. I see a beautiful capture and I log the destination in my head as someday. I’ve gotten to thinking is it all worth it? Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Sometimes the destination is lackluster or the lighting is off or there are too many crowds or for whatever reason it’s not at all what I expected. Of course I’ll never really know until I take the journey so it’s a gamble. After close to an hour train ride and a 40 minute walk on a countryside highway with no sidewalks (each way) I really have to question ‘why’d u do what u do Matthew’ and the best I can come up with is that the journey there is always memorable regardless. I learn of new locations and history and create unforgettable memories. And also, sometimes the shot is worth it. 🤷🏽‍♂️ #DiscoverMore taken in Ouse Valley Viaduct by @accordingtomatt

If u had asked me who I was most afraid to lose I would most likely have said Buster. That’s mostly because I was so acutely aware that his time with me was limited. I would even make dark jokes about when he passes and it was clearly an attempt to prepare and cushion the intense feelings I knew I would have. He felt like such a gift to me. A gift from God. A gift from Michelle. A gift from the universe. Every morning I woke up I was grateful that I got to have another day with him. That is, until I didn’t. My heart is shattered into a million pieces and I’m honestly just trying to figure out how I’m going to cope without my best friend. There are only two people in this world who shared their life with Buster like I did and while I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone, I can’t lie and say I’m not grateful that I’m not alone in this. There are many of you that held a special place for Buster in your heart and I knew he loved that and so do I. The price for intense love will sometimes be intense pain but I would do it again in a heartbeat if I could just have a little more time. #thankyoumoreplease taken in All Dogs Go to Heaven by @accordingtomatt

I’ve had to confront so many uncomfortable things in my quest to be comfortable in my own skin. That’s it. That’s the quote. #TheJourneyContinues taken in Silver Sands, Trelawny, Jamaica by @accordingtomatt

The road is a game changer so job well done! And I love that it modernizes and makes the route easier but also retains all of the bits and pieces that made the route special to begin with. #jamaicatiktok by @accordingtomatt

But seriously this is actual footage of me trying to explain to my co-worker what transpired today at work. If you don’t laugh you cry so that’s why Jamaicans have such good sense of humor 🤣 #JamaicaTikTok taken in Jamaica by @accordingtomatt

This is in no way to diminish the efforts of others and I hope it doesn’t come off that way because the entire point of the post is the Power of Community. Once my post went live people started putting receipts and information that was relevant to help others. I think the big take away is let’s raise a siren or loudspeaker when we see something suspect because it makes a difference! #jamaicatiktok taken in Jamaica by @accordingtomatt

You prolly won’t believe me when I say that I don’t eat out much. Because I guess I do eat out a bit, but it’s always planned like someone’s birthday and I’m on the go so much (or running to get home) that I don’t really just take the time to go treat myself to a sit down meal. I was really happy for this cause I took the time and noticed how clean it was and how nice the settings actually were and listened to the music and enjoyed the interactions I had and savored the food. I’m really enjoying slowing down a bit! Thanks @cellar8kgn taken in Jamaica by @accordingtomatt

To be clear this page is over on TT but their are prolly some cross platform folks out there. Besides that, it’s just a general warning to be thorough and check out something before throwing money at it. So the last thing I want to do is condemn or speak ill of anyone’s business. That said there are too many red flags about this page so far and I’d hate for people to get scammed because they didn’t do their due diligence. If anyone can vouch for this page or have any information that can give authenticity that would help greatly because the videos seem AI and the info given to persons about booking directly seems very suspect. Hopefully this helps course correct! #jamaicatiktok taken in Jamaica by @accordingtomatt
