Ariana’s photography from arianaraya.org (domain will be changed when hosting runs out). Rest in power, my sweet one.
Not to be ungrateful but people are impressed with Ariana’s creativity, humor, writing skills, video production, insight, musicianship, and photography now that they’re gone. I wish people had appreciated them sooner. Ariana was scrappy and worked so unbelievably hard to succeed but kept running into obstacles and ultimately felt like a failure. I reached out for help and opportunities for them as well but there was nothing forthcoming.
It reminds me of The Band Perry’s song “If I die young”
“A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar They're worth so much more after I'm a goner And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin' Funny when you're dead, how people start listenin' “
