a couple of months ago, i told my mother that i was dating a sex worker. she took it very well. in retrospect, i wonder if she was dying just a little on the inside. but that’s my mom, always proud and loving me for who i am. i took this photograph in Jamaica over the winter. it was a perfect sunset on a perfect day in a perfect place. i felt so present and full of peace in this moment. i wish this feeling on repeat for my mama everyday. thank you. all of this is because of you.
