I was struggling with my addiction, train rides back to Indiana were always brutal because I’d be going through withdrawal so my parents wouldn’t discover my problem. I’m a fighter though, and I wasn’t going to let that stop me from capturing the liminal spaces within the train, just as we were leaving Chicago the entire sky turned a purple I hadn’t seen before I a sky. As we passed through the near south side I captured this moment. It’s means so much to me because I was one of the first times I stood up to my addiction and said “I’m not doing this anymore, I can handle this with my camera” and I’ve been able to push through with that mentality. I’m posting this piece to celebrate 100+ days of clean time from opiates, and to celebrate the drug free future that I am working so hard to accomplish.
