(- quito, ecuador. taken with pentax 35mm, film camera.)

"one of the hardest lessons i had to learn was that i was going to need a lot of help, and for a long time. (even this morning). what saved me was that i found gentle, loyal and hilarious companions, which is at the heart of meaning- maybe we don't find a lot of answers to life's tougher questions, but if we find a few true friends, that's even better. they help you see who you truly are, which is not always the loveliest possible version of yourself, but then comes the greatest miracle of all - they still love you."
