ZIM; a photo series on men's mental health: RETROSPECT

Through my smiles, memories, experiences and lives, I have lived more in one single lifetime, explored enough for a hundred though, I have sifted through spatial parallel lines...

To trust myself it took more than just words and thoughts, these lessons appeared like a beautiful sorrow, I silenced them one by one then thousands at a time, to be at zen and be zim, has been an emotional rollercoaster...

Think, discard, think, discard, think, I am ready to break this cycle, I am ready to move on, I am ready to embrace my true authentic self.

I am building and being an epitome of self respect.
