A giant FUCK YOU! to those out there who victim shame. To the misogynists. The bros who think rape is not a big deal. To those bashing victims and almost worse... Not believing them or belittling their experience. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. This bath won't wash you all away but it might help this panic attack I'm having from all these triggers. selfSEE365 A year long self portrait photography/illustration project where self views & secrets merge with the outer self. This project is based on my previous project “self sees” with the spotlight turned on myself. Pushing me out of my comfort zone and sharing a daily moment. 365 photos starting on my 40th birthday. #selfSEE365 #stormyseastudio #selfsee #selfiegram #portraitproject #selfportrait #selfportraitproject #365daychallenge #selfexploration #stormyseastudio #thisis40🤘🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/BoPt_UwHmTx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t1cszyu5f5fb

You'd think by 40 years old I would be able to do normal adult shut without getting stressed. Nope! Finally replacing my cracked phone (what i have been using for this project). But it stressed me out. And when I get it I have to reset all the things...

So a great thing about traveling is my geography is getting much better! I didn't even know Michigan had an upper peninsula. It's called the U.P. And the people there are called Yoopers. And they have this pot pie sort of thing called a pasties. Everything is better in a pie crust... #stormyadventures #explore #usa #wanderlust #roadtrip #vanlife #puremichigan #michigan #foodtravel #america #learningallthethings (at Michigan's Upper Peninsula(Da Yoop)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn2KyPeHgbw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jgvgwicm1cam
