The Intimacy Project

An interview series, where people are asked to explore a question that is both universal and personal. This project strives to create compassion and understanding, as we see ourselves in the stories of others. The questions are not shared in the entries, as the content they catalyze are the focus of The Intimacy Project. The photos included are selected by the interviewees as images that best represent who they are. If you are interested in adding your own story, please contact me.

"I just realized the other day how afraid I was. Am. Have been.
This morning, I randomly flipped to a page of one of my journals, to an entry I wrote exactly one year ago. I wrote to believe in myself, and to not fall into the helms of the rat race. I wrote with a sense of adventure, asking self to not find solitude in comfort… to always seek out new, unknown, the uncomfortable. That’s where you grow.

This past while, I’ve been really unbeknownst to myself. Haven’t really given myself a second to step back and look at where I’m going. I think a lot of young people do this right after graduation.

I wonder when I’ll find where I truly belong.
