I documented my 6 month retinal detachment journey of the time, from September 2018 to March 2019, through selfies and photographs and shared my story to my personal instagram - originally sharing with friends and fans of my favourite band (Ghost) which spread a little further afield. Reflecting back, how could I have done things differently? I could have shared vlogs or lives to have kept those personal moments for the future but honestly, it was such a traumatic time for me and I was highly medicated while I was healing. It's very easily to say these things while I'm reflecting back, sat here and wishing I'd done them, but at the time it didn't feel right and I was very out of it. I do wish I would have done something other than visual media such as photos and selfies though. Some kind of voice recording would have been incredibly valuable. It's hard to imagine me not crying though. IT was such a horrible and lonely experience. Still, I documented my healing journey and these photos will go towards the creating of the publication. I have made all of my photographs "live" in a Google Drive link.
