I've been learning that I don't need to control myself so tightly, I can care for myself with kindness, in a gentle way.
For some of us, childhood was a place where mistakes brought criticism. Being told off for doing something wrong, made to feel foolish for not understanding, learning to read the room..
I had been forced to stop doing things the way I normally did them, and that change had made me look more closely at what was right in front of me.
Every photo we make carries traces of time.
