What was the last photo you took? Share it with us and tell the story behind it!
Lol, I saw this particular prompt question and I had to run back to my photo gallery to check if I have any pictures for this year because I am not a photo freak, never have I ever been.
Today, we went for an occasion and my friends were begging me to take pictures because I stood out. My dress was eye catchy and the talk of the event, made me stand out but I didn't oblige because I don't like taking pictures.
So, I rushed down to my photo gallery and there I found the last pictures I had taken of myself, it was a selfie of me outside my church premises while I was waiting for my roommate to finish their rehearsals that particular day which was on Saturday.
On this particular day, which happens to be the 13th of April, I was very down and going through a lot of shit that was keeping my spirit down and putting me in a sober spirit.
I did not feel like talking to anyone, nor did I feel like crying because I couldn't find the tears, so I just sat down outside that church and the only thing that came to my mind was to take a picture of myself, to remember how I was going through the challenges.
At this moment, I was beginning to have so many thoughts and so many doubts about everything happening to me and I just didn't know what to do, I didn't know why I was the only one at the receiving end and it was not making sense but then, even when it felt like the world was crumbling on me, the only thing that came to my mind was to take a selfie about my face and that was exactly what I did.
My mom was battling with an illness that could lead to the amputation of her leg if not treated well and I was in the middle of a school session thinking about how I was going to pay for my school fees and my house rent, the whole thing was overwhelming but I didn't feel like talking about with anyone or crying my eyes out, so I did the only thing that came to my mind at that moment, take a selfie picture of me.

I’m so sorry about your mom’s illness and the whole school fees issue
I hope she’s better now
She is recuperating
Thank you
Capture a feeling and expression on camera can help as you look back on them, remember what and how you felt and what was going on 📸❤️
Amazing pictures and you are beautiful.
Anyone would feel overwhelmed going through what you did, worry about so much can be to much and I understand the feeling of not wanting to cry or talk, just be alone.
So the selfie idea was a good one, just you and the camera.
Wish for things to work out for you and that your mom heals soon.
Much love 🌺 and happy thoughts your way.
It was an unconscious act but I am had I did.
Thank you very much 😊
Yeah, you're right, I felt overwhelmed, and the only thing that came to my mind was to snap picture
Thank you very much
Life has a way of throwing one out of balance. Sorry about your mom's illness, I know it's painful.
God will see you through this storm and bring you out of it better than you could ever imagine. He loves you and He knows best.
You can say that again. Life is funny though.
Very painful considering how hectic the whole thing is for me.
Amen, thank you very much.

You sure have a lot on your mind @eliany including your Mother's medical needs. 🙏 Have you discussed your concerns with anyone at your church?
Yeah, I do have a lot on my mind and also trying to get enough finances to get her stable too.
Yeah, well it took days before I was able to come to terms and decide to discuss it with someone in the church.
Thank you
I have faith everything will be okay!
It wasn't easy but over time, I have learnt to have faith.
Thank you

I am so sorry to hear about the situation your mum is in right now. Such moments can be challenging, and due to the fact that you're still in school, I can only imagine what you're going through right now. I pray she gets better soon.
And please never forget to pray for her. A miracle can happen if you believe
