I’ve realised something about myself over the years: I change my mind more often than I used to. Not because I’m indecisive, and certainly not because I don’t have strong opinions. If anything, I’m quite stubborn. When I believe something, I usually have good reasons for believing it. But I’ve also noticed that those reasons…
People often talk about curiosity as if it were an unquestionable gift. They say curious people never stop learning, never stop growing, never stop discovering new ideas. All of that is true. Curiosity has shaped almost every part of my life, and I honestly can’t imagine living without it. But I don’t think we talk…
This week has been one of the hardest I’ve had in a long time. A few days ago, after a hospital appointment, I was told that my autoimmune disease has got worse. I was advised to rest, slow down and accept that, for now, my body simply needs more than I would like it to.…
One of the things I’ve realised over the years is that almost nothing we learn is ever truly wasted. When I first picked up a camera, I had no idea it would influence the way I tell stories today. When I started working as a graphic designer, I wasn’t thinking about building my own artistic…
This week has been harder than most. A few days ago, after a hospital appointment, I was told that my autoimmune disease has got worse. I was advised to rest, to slow down and to accept that, for now, my body needs more from me than I would like to admit. I was already struggling…
One thing I’ve realised about myself is that I’ve never been very good at waiting until I felt “ready.” When I started photography, I wasn’t ready. When I began working as a videographer, I wasn’t ready. When I started DJing in my early twenties, I definitely wasn’t ready. Looking back, I don’t think I’ve ever…
I’ve noticed that I have a habit, and it’s something the people closest to me have probably heard me say hundreds of times. Whenever I’m talking to someone about something difficult—whether it’s my illness, a bad day, uncertainty, or simply one of those moments when life feels heavier than usual—I almost always end the conversation…
Over the past few days I’ve been working on three different DJ sets for an upcoming live painting performance. On the surface it might look like I was simply choosing tracks. But building a DJ set has never felt that simple to me.
Sometimes I joke that I got stuck in the “why” phase. You know that stage every child goes through when every answer is followed by another “why?” I don’t think I ever really grew out of it. Even now, I catch myself asking questions about almost everything. Why do people behave the way they do?…
When I got sick, I honestly believed my life was over. At the time, all I could see was loss. I lost the job I loved, my independence, my physical strength and the certainty that I could make plans without wondering whether my body would let me follow through. Before that, my life looked completely…
