God showed me peace in loving myself   



isa’s prayer                           [i was] still [STILL] seein’ u, C [not again]



 



















i’m forcing myself to remember,
that now is not forever

surely if i believe it enough, 
there will be better

days, hours, minutes, seconds,
belonging to me, my loved ones, my lover




























































































if i’m lost and you ever want to find me, make sure you check Zanzibar

++you’ve been missed Boj++

   
        
 
                         






                                    if you knew how we got here
                                    you’d scream like i did
                                    breathing so i know my mind lives
                                    dream or die? which?
       
 
                                    i think i’m free then feel my heart beat
                                    i look around and see my sorrows meet
                                    i saw God and thought she was me
                                    in me, she lives
                                    she lives in me


                                         




if my art and the relationships i could share are to be my legacy
then i am content





                 





                               GIVE ME 20 LINES

these 
days















i just want to feel free
i am who i am
it’s a lot of everything 

i found a soul in the sun
so i poured my heart out in the streets
where the dreams of those who look like me
came to be








make sure you spread the gospel

colour and feel is inspired by carrie mae weems ‘coloured people’. initially i set out to investigate how monochromatic images can influence the way the viewer ‘reads’ the scene as well as the change in emotion, if any. the images from this experiment are both new and archived. this eventually spiralled into a messy journal of sorts with text, drawings, video and audio and currently functions as a way to know where my mind is now in a few years. page content, except a few embedded videos/tweets/memes, is original.
thanks to timothy yanick hunter’s www.trueandfunctional.com for the thought of using a website in this way.
