they ask me the difference between “need” and “want”. i say a reflex. i say a decision. They look blank and i smile.

i say need - the way that oxygen infiltrates your lungs as you run.

i say want - the way that home is a choice.

you were somewhere between the two or maybe both at the same time. like the lining of my liver and a disney movie all at once. like the grey area between always and forever.

like, well, like love.

an intro video • Hello! My name is Helana. One of my favorite parts of my job as a photographer is that I can capture live shows. My favorite recent one before lockdown was attending Twenty One Pilots. They're amazing! • What is the first thing you are going to do after lockdown? I will be going to the first concert I can grab tickets for! • #concertphotographer #concertphotos #igreels #instagramreels #concertphotography #livemusic #twentyonepilots #21pilots #twentyonepilotslive #joshandtyler #quarantine #quarantinelife https://www.instagram.com/reel/CDxStp-lz3R/?igshid=1s4hsy5x9rv7l

• This year, I've been dedicating my time to honing my craft to be uncompromisingly me. As someone who's passionate about all things fantasy (I mean, I paid for classes in it), I have always wanted to take my visual work to new heights. As I continue to take this year to reflect, and to grow, I have decided that I didn't want to simply write fantasy. I wanted my photography to capture my audience the way all fantasy does– creating a world with stories of their own. I'm so excited to finally have taken the plunge. I have a lot more to work on still, but knowing I'm a step closer fills me with excitement. (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwo0qSlavF/?igshid=2mxe0bgq4wwg

BANKS releases an acoustic EP

She has continuously opened her heart out to everyone who will listen. In live performances, she sings soothingly, holding her audience carefully in her hands and nurtures them to blossom. Every time I have heard her music, watched her performances, or read her words, I am filled with inspiration to keep creating, no matter the surroundings...

the fight refuses to bury

all the lines of worry instilled

stirred and unsteady

the sickle whispers death

and wide-eyed at night

you hold it in you

inhaled, torment thinks its way in

and you wear it proudly

I don’t blame it

the hushed feeling chills

and when it’s hard to breathe

at least you feel something

numbed lips turn

into a bitter smile as you

said it

one day you’ll feel

as if you’re choking and instead

you blame it on lies

hope isn’t near, you said

but your gaze will remain

staring for the skies until they open

- h.m.

stilled

spoken in safe regret

and doing nothing

but fretting an instant

the instances filled

and still

I see nothing but a paleness

breath held

and willed by all hopes

and stillness

and still

you forget.

- h.m

All I can think about is how you make my hands feel magnetic. I am drawn to you in clover patches. Want to unwind under the roof of your sighs. Oh good lord I am undone and while the church says the unholy want of us is causing the criminal skies to fall - let them fall, then. I will kiss you in the ending sun and hear the hark of your hurt like a sparrowbird. I want to live in the forest of pulling you closer, of hands on your thighs, of laughter. I am looking for a bite mark and a future tense and a morning after. I want to sink into the glory of your blue eyes and sigh under your canine teeth. I want to forget how to kneel under your hands and instead just collapse. I have no more words for wanting. Just a summer of yearning, each day with no end and no bottom. How do i ask the right way to get your jaw in my palm. How do I ask the right way for us both to be home.

I may look cool here but I’ll admit; I’m about to lose my mind.
•
All the small businesses I’m involved in are struggling. I have no shows to go to— in which I’ve been preparing MONTHS for. I’m a person that absolutely hates sitting still.
•
In the meantime, I’ll be here— reading, writing, and creating however I can to remain sane.
