TEARS 4 YEARS

For many years I have taken pictures of myself while crying. I have identified as a depressed person essentially my entire life. I am torn about continuing this practice because I think it helps me support this identity tangibly. There is more to this collection for me, however. I have also been drawn to sadness and find it beautiful. I have been in therapy most of my life. I am an impatient person, and elect to talk as openly and vulnerably as I can, believing that this approach disarms people and opens pathways for quicker connection.
