City: Portland

Brain Injury: A fall down the stairs in January 2016

Explanation of Mask: After the fall, there was darkness. Later I would have thoughts that would be like 4 thof July fireworks exploding in my head with bright lights and vibrant colors. After a few seconds, the lights and colors would fade back into the darkness from which they came.

Then at some point a thought didn’t vanish, it lingered like a newly planted seed began to grow. A new life had begun.

One good thing about my brain injury is that I found LOVE and the I COULD BE LOVED.
