Through My Eyes: Reflections on My Journey

This project is rooted in lived experience, truth-telling, identity, emotional transformation, and spiritual depth. It reflects a personal and collective journey of healing, shaped by cross-cultural insight and the courage to speak from within.

The dragonfly is the guiding symbol for this work. It embodies transformation, emotional clarity, and the ability to see beyond illusion. Dragonflies spend most of their lives beneath the surface as nymphs — hidden, unseen, growing. When they finally emerge, they live briefly but brilliantly, revealing their full beauty and presence.

This mirrors the lived experience journey: the quiet, internal growth that often goes unrecognised until the moment of emergence — when one's truth, voice, and identity rise to the surface. The dragonfly teaches us that visibility after struggle is sacred, and that what we carry within can become light for others.

Through My Eyes is an offering from that place — where silence becomes voice, pain becomes wisdom, and personal truth becomes a shared path toward authenticity.

    Who Taught You How to Love?

    The Love We Witnessed, and the Unlearning That Followed

    I’ve written a blog post reflecting on how we show up for the people we love. It led me inward to ask, Where did I learn to love like this? Who shaped the way I express care, affection, and commitment? And what have I needed to unlearn in order to love more truthfully?

    So I invite you to reflect too: Where did you learn how to show love to the people you care about? And… is it still serving you?

    I am the Depth. I am not the wave

    In my life, anxiety has always been met with a narrow set of tools—managing it or learning to recognise warning signs, as though anxiety were something to overcome, control, or suppress. Over time, I came to see it as destructive. But no one ever taught me the simple truth: own your feelings. That phrase transformed everything. It shifted my entire relationship with anxiety, letting me respond with compassion and presence rather than fear and avoidance.

    In I am the depth. I am not the wave, I explore this shift in more depth—how grounding myself in the fullness of my emotions reveals resilience beneath the surface.

    This is more than a coping strategy. It’s an invitation to embrace our humanity, to feel our vulnerability fully, not as a weakness but as a source of strength. I hope that speaking my truth can open space for others to do the same.

    My Truth, Their Son: Coming Out in 2001

    I want to share as openly as I can—to spark conversation, especially as a gay man—about the challenges we face and the assumptions we carry because of cultural expectations. This is for those who still don’t have the voice or space to speak about their inner struggles.

    Finding the Gift in My ADHD – A Blessing from Heaven

    Living with ADHD hasn’t been easy.

    The real struggle hasn’t just been the experience itself, but the lack of understanding from the world around me.

    But despite it all, I’ve managed to do and achieve things I never thought I could. And now, I finally understand why.
