Keeping a journal has helped me finding my purpose, personal and with photography just by reminding myself where I want to go. I remember a drawing at a bar I was going when I was a teenager "If you don't look where you wanna go, you'll go where you're looking at".

I loved this piece, not just because my go to camera is a Leica Q2, with many of my photos in black and white. My purpose, after surviving a heart transplant and 6 deaths, is to help people shimmer. I am doing this through my poetry and novels, which I’m serialising on conked.io and also through my photos. To be honest I’m still exploring how best to do this with the camera, but I love the process of exploration as it is changing me in unexpected ways. All the best

Change is inevitable. It puts us in discomfort which I believe is so important for growth. I too am going through changes in my life - shifting careers, where I live etc. It's important to trust your intuition and listen to your heart which shows me what I truly desire and helps me to take action. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Wesley very insightful

Really love the idea of simply changing tables instead of continually trying to fight to “win” with a hand that is full of duds.

With so much detachment and absence, feeling truly authentically seen by another person can absolutely be life changing, it’s not pompous, it’s just true
