I've had a lot of people ask me why I decided to join SG.
The honest answer is, it's been a dream of mine for years! Like 9+ years.
I remember seeing the girls on here and thinking to myself "Wow! They're all so beautiful and so confident!! I wish I could do that..." but I never did.
I wanted to for so long, but at the time my self-esteem and confidence was so low I felt like I could never do something like that. I kind of just went through life doing whatever, but it was always in the back of my mind.
I've had people wanting me to do it for YEARS, constantly egging me on and cheering for me to just take that first step and send in a couple photos of myself. I had always just brushed it off like "Haha, maybe someday...!" Always coming up with some lame excuse as to why I couldn't do it, but really it was because I didn't feel pretty enough to do it, I didn't like how I looked..
But in 2020, with the consistent support of people like @whisky_crab , @max_f_lawless and @shaggybickford1981 (to name a couple), I finally just said fuck it and sent in a couple photos I had of myself! Here's a couple of the ones I sent in(if I recall correctly :P, it's been a while!)
That naked arm, though!! And my HAIRR :P
Anyways!
Now, I don't know if it was automated or what(I assume so) but they were accepted!! At the time I was ecstatic! I was so thrilled!! Definitely thought to myself "Maybe I CAN actually do this...!" I was pumped. But then came the issue of finding a photographer! It took a little while, but I finally found @aurralee (who is a DELIGHT to shoot with!!!) And had my first EVER professional photoshoot booked in September of 2021, which as you all know went live a little over a year ago!
Late Afternoon Delight !! Give it some love!
So now here we are! My second set, After Hours dropped yesterday, and I'm so happy with how its been doing!
I love how I look SO much more confident
It's only been like a year but I'm just so thankful for everyone that I've met on here and all the positivity that's been all around me here. The friends I've been making(there's too many to list here, you know who you are!!)I truly am so, SO thankful for all of you and all the love and support you've given me. Compared to before, my confidence is definitely growing and I'm finally starting to love myself. Thank you to those who kept egging me on to do this, I'm so glad you didn't give up on me
So with my whole heart, I just want to say
Thank you, for everything
With Love,
Raine Demure
