Its been the second day Ive found myself saying "Im an official Suicidegirl" out of the blue.
Im in the middle of a couple of completly exhausting months at work, my brain has little time to think of anything else.
On wednesday I see a new notification on my phone. My ringtone of an idol saying "hey, what're you doing?" Calling to my attention.
"Oh, a new e-mail. Probably more promos or something I have to pay" because those are the usual mails we all get.
But no, an e-mail from Suicidegirls. "Its probably a message someone sent me" it used to make me sad not being able to answer.
And once again, no.
"You have a new message from Suicidegirls" ok, I'll open the e-mail.
The gods know I need a break from work.
"Your set has been selected as Set of the Day".
"Uh?" And I get up from my chair (my cat looking at me from her dog bed).
And I read it again.
Trying to make the news sink in, i sat on the floor. (My cat, Ramen, looking at me like wth)
Five minutes later I start writing to my friends from the @suicidegirlsperu community "this just happened".
(Ill probably make another blog thanking everyone individually).
And bam wham thank you ma'am.
Its all true! And I think it still hasnt sinked in!
I am amazed and so grateful to everyone for their love and support.
I'm not the same woman from 2013, but by the gods this feels like a goal met.
My 16 year-old self would have never believed how far I would come and how far I would have accomplished.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I love you all (my cat does too, but she doesnt know it yet)
