The History.
Welcome to Leighwords! Leighwords was born out of a time in my life where I struggled. And I learned that struggling can really be an ultimately isolating place if you sit there alone. It’s an easy place to stay but a hard place to be. I’ve realized that taking the small step outside of it and seeing the beauty that the world has to offer and even more, seeing the beauty that I have to offer the world from within, is really what calls me out of those slumps when they come. The truth is that we all struggle because we’re humans, having a human experience and life is just very far from perfect. Life is just life as cliche as it may be. There are ups and downs and twists and turns. Hard lessons continually learned. But the power that resides in understanding that we’re not alone on this journey, nor were we made to experience this place alone, is what inspires me to capture the world through words and photos.
Leighwords marked the beginning of the story I wish to tell the people around me as it continues to unfold. Experiencing art, much like the world, is such a unique, individual journey and I hope what you find here inspires you on yours. Thank you for taking a moment to visit!
