breathe (Patreon)

As I pack for my first tour of 2018 tomorrow, I want to take a second to breathe. Craig and I always create emotional work together, and this last visit was no different; though this photo represents different addictions we face, it nonetheless depicts the same awful reality. I suffer from depression and anxiety and used to practice self mutilation quite often, as many of you know. I relapsed once this past year, though the thoughts never stop.
One of the reasons I create is to not only release my own pain and find this therapy for myself, but it is also to help you all vicariously release yours as well.
I hope to continue this in music, in modeling, in photography, in writing, in acting... in all of the forms I hold dear, I hope to continue this for as long as I live on this earth.

Breathe.

This is not the end.
