“

I never said it was easy to find your place in this world. But I’m coming to the conclusion that if you seek to please others, you will forever be changing because you will never be yourself. Only fragments of someone you could be. You need to belong to yourself, & let others belong to themselves too. You need to be free & detached from things & your surroundings. You need to build your home in your own simple existence, Not in friends, lovers, your career or material belongings, Because these are things you will lose one day. That’s the natural order of this world. This is called the practice of detachment.

” | Charlotte Eriksson |, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: In search for The Great Perhaps

“All I wanted was to live a life where I could be me, and be okay with that. I had no need for material possessions, money or even close friends with me on my journey. I never understood people very well anyway, and they never seemed to understand me very well either. All I wanted was my art and the chance to be the creator of my own world, my own reality. I wanted the open road and new beginnings every day.”

“It's August and I'm tired of being strong. I never really was very brave. Throw me on sharp edges, I've never felt so destructive.”

“I have lost and loved and won and cried myself to the person I am today.”

There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I'm born to leave.

“Let me wake up next to you, have coffee in the morning and wander through the city with your hand in mine, and I'll be happy for the rest of my fucked up little life.”

A cyberpunk fairy shoot with @cara.harroway that was all kinds of fun and imaginative. Only to me it's not number one. Well...it is. But it's not number one by itself. Truth be told, every photo is. And every model is number one. I've loved every shoot and every person I've worked with. So thank you so much to: @sagarika_rixton @sweet_mandragoramodel @jadeaslamx @celestialxghosty @curlywurlysnaps @hedwig.macbutterfly @ivory_lovelust @happyhullaballoo @hahabomination @_palendromic_ @anna_carinamc @rosie_may_riot @BlueMerkitten @auroraphoenixmodel I hope I get to work with you all again soon and I hope to work with many more in 2023.
