LivingInFotos has been quietly sitting in the background of my life for years now; hidden in half-written drafts, random notes, and folders full of ideas I have never quite finished.
I was never quite able to explain to people what it was meant to be and truthfully looking back now, I think it’s because I didn’t really know the answer myself. I’ve started, stopped and started again more times than I can count. I told myself that all I needed was more time — to get the branding right, figure out the content, wait until I felt “ready.” But the truth is I wasn’t ready to let the world into certain parts of my life.
So, I let it rest.
And in that time, a lot of big things happened in my life.
Life asked me to slow down — not in a romanticized, Pinterest-perfect way, but because my body had no choice. Chronic illness changed my pace – it rearranged my priorities, it made me pay attention to the little things, question the big things, and rethink what a “good life” even looks like.
And in that slower pace, I finally understood what LivingInFotos was always meant to be.
It’s not a brand or a business plan.
It’s a visual diary of slow, intentional living – a blend of my life with chronic illness, my love for travel, and the everyday moments that make life feel full. It’s the kind of life I’m learning to live gently, one moment at a time.
Here, you’ll find quiet reflections, photographs that hold stories, honest conversations about living with chronic illness, and glimpses of travel and everyday life that honours connection, presence and authenticity. A space for stillness and maybe, a space for you too.
This is me starting over.
Not from failure, but from clarity.
Not loudly, but honestly.
If you’ve found your way here, welcome, I’m so glad you made it.
