Brighton holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first place I ever travelled to by myself: In a month of navigating life on my own, making new friends in the weirdest of places, exploring the raw beauty of the windy lands outside the city, catching buses with no timetables (would NOT recommend), I slowly started growing into the person I am today.
These images remind me of my struggles, the anxiety and heartbreak I experienced and feeling overwhelmingly homesick. But they also display the joy I felt, the laughter I shared with strangers that became friends and the trust I built in myself.
