I think Unsealed Conversations is your own network Lauren. Within The Unsealed it serves as a great amplifier of the stories you tell for people. If not a network it’s definitely your own kind of talk show. Without The Unsealed I wouldn’t be taking my crazy old Volvo to be in a movie tomorrow.

For me I didn’t start out intending for it to hurt this long, losing her. It is hard because while my physical appearance is a carbon copy of my Father 28 years younger, my inward attitude and almost all other defining characteristics belong to my Mother. From being left handed to my brown eye, just about everything that lies below the surface is…read more

Mental Health group 1 month, 1 week agoA thousand words
Roger ChamberlainDear Photography,
I write this today to let you know how grateful I am for you. You helped me find a spark to keep me going when I wasn’t sure I could. I built my skills within your confines in the classic sense of trial and error. I took no classes, hell I didn’t even read the owners manual of my first camera. I took that camera out into the…read moreWrite me back Subscribe or log in and join the Mental Health group and reply

The devastating power of grief visited me far earlier than I had ever imagined. I was 17 and undeniably in love with my high school girlfriend. I wanted to go out with her that night but I missed the chance to ask her before she went home. The next morning I was at a friend’s house when I found out she had been killed in a car accident early that…read more

Lauren,
Had I known that freezing my hands off to take a photo would lead to our amazing friendship, I would’ve taken a few more. The kindness and support you have given me will be impossible to fully thank you for. You have become one of the ways I will measure future friendships. You are an incredible person who gives so much hope and light to t…read more
Aww Roger, that is so sweet. It’s people like you that keep me pushing. I still want to grow and be so much bigger. But I know I have to be patient and it will come. I am so glad The Unsealed and our friendship has had such a positive impact on your well-being and your life. You inspire me to keep pushing ever day.
Life is really hard sometime…read more
