I’m being blackmailed and extorted for nude photos of myself, something private that was never meant to be shared with the whole world. I’m taking back the control and sharing it with you first. Here’s the photo they emailed and attached threatening to share with my friends, family, and the internet. They claim to have many more “less tame” photos to use against me.
I will not let someone else make choices involving my own body, I will not allow someone to have power over me.
I’ve already reported this person and case to the FBI and I sincerely hope they take the investigation seriously and follow through with this crime.
I also share this because I know how many other people are affected daily by revenge porn, and nude leaks, that are carried out by hackers and criminals in an effort to break down body, and mind, both deeply vulnerable. I understand and I’m sorry it exists.
I will not stand for any slut shaming, this is my body, and I will share it with whomever I choose.
Another paragraph? Here goes! May is Mental Health Awareness month and all I can say is thank goodness for therapy and Lexapro and any of the other much smaller things that have gotten me through the past few years. My dog Bear, a good book, a bowl of soup, a conversation with a stranger, a moment outside, all somehow have helped me get through depression and anxiety on a daily basis. These are some photos of moments I wasn’t sure I was going to feel true happiness again, I felt like a shell of a human being and I was terrified of what the future would be like. little by little I’ve started to get that feeling of happiness back on my own terms. Anyways this is a long way of saying if you’re dealing with something I understand and there’s lots of people right there with you. I love you and you’ve got this. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessmonth

Here are some photos I’ve taken of friends on film. To say I’m lucky is understatement when it comes to these beautiful humans and more friends that I have yet to capture on film. (another post to come)
I keep thinking over and over again how amazing it is to have friends that aren’t just in your life but a part of it, actively helping you grow, people who you don’t just laugh with but snort with as well, who cry big snotty ugly wonderful tears, who convince you to literally and figuratively climb a mountain.
Sometimes I’m scared of being sappy or cliche but truthfully I’m a hopeless romantic even when it comes to friendships, I love the beauty of it all. I love love.
So here’s to more karaoke nights, rom com watching, wine tasting, hiking, camping, and every other little thing in between day to day with these badass humans. ❤️🔥
Coming soon 🤍 in fidelity
