On the 18th of April, I slit my wrist. Prior to that day I had battled with the urge of killing myself for about 3 months. Even though everyone thought (and will still say) I had (have) it all, I didn’t (don’t), I was very sad and I just wanted it to end.

That Thursday, I was diagnosed with severe depression, I was ashamed and sad that this was my new reality, but it was a step in the right direction with daily medications and a therapist.

Turning 26 is major for me because I’m alive to celebrate it. I’m alive and that’s why when I decided to do this shoot with @badmantej, it wasn’t because being semi-nude will get more engagement. It was simply because I am finally free and at peace to live life on my own terms.

This is me at 26, breathing and alive.
