One of my all time favourite photos ~ of the beautiful Akoi @akoi_cg from @strategixmedi.a during a recent photoshoot 📸 Thank you for trusting me with your vision and being such a wonderful human to work with. This portrait reminds me of some of my favourite music videos in the 90’s, it gives me so much nostalgia, and I love to see images of self love. Thank you so much again for having me ❤️ by @snapsbysimz

After 7 months off socials, and 18 months of spectating my life falling apart, I’m finally back in the drivers seat again ❤️

In my time away, I turned 38 in October. The same day in December I graduated my 3rd degree, my divorce was finalised, and the irony is not lost on me. I started working a fulltime new job, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, whilst feeling the most alone I have ever felt in my life.

I felt scared for my future. Scared about who would take care of me in my darkest hours. Scared about money. Scared that maybe I’d never be loved again. Scared that children might no longer be an option for me.

I felt embarrassed, humiliated, and ultimately, that I was a bad person - that the divorce was my fault - as if it was something I could control.

The truth is, my divorce is not the unique, special, “different” divorce I thought it was.

It was, and is, the same as everyone else’s. A relationship ended, a contract and promise was broken, and I was completely and utterly blindsided.

I have since come to learn the real reason my marriage ended, and I no longer feel bad about myself. I can see that as much as I wanted things to work, marriages need two people who are ready and willing. It’s not my fault, nor within my control, if someone else is not in the same place as me.

For a time, I had something beautiful, until I didn’t.

I needed time away from the noise of social media to fully process this.

Today, my body finally feels that chapter of my life is over.
I don’t feel scared anymore.
I feel like me again.

I sat at my piano last night, and something about the light on my face and my reflection in window made me feel beautiful. I looked at myself in wonder. Here are my first self portraits of me, titled ‘Self Wonder’, and a song I’ve started writing called ‘I’m coming back to me’ or maybe ‘Back to me’… I’m imaging the theme of my next album and exhibition. Stronger, wiser, more trusting of myself, more me.

The video is of the ceiling, but you’ll be able to hear me playing the piano and singing the beginning bones of my next chapter.
