<div class="legacy-text">Growing up, I have always been the shy, quiet, awkward girl. But it was as I began to see myself through the eyes of those that loved me that I began to blossom as a woman. I found true freedom in this, and the best sort of freedom I found was that of being naked. Not just physically, but in as many ways possible. Sure, I've been hurt, so has everyone. But sometimes the pain is worth it.<br /><br /><br />A huge thanks to the lovely Alissa Brunelli for shooting this set out of the blue, the way uber talented and adorable Lainey for hair and makeup, and to the sweetest girl in the world Parish for hanging out!</div>
