2016: a fucking whirlwind but is ending super nicely. -----
•had a falling out & was homeless for a while- almost dropped out of school and moved back to LA because I got really fucking depressed and was becoming pretty resentful of everyone in that time frame and had lost all sense of self.. had some homies take me in- that was wild on its own.
•Had a lit summer -- rode a motorcycle for the first time with my really good friend, Ed --only to lose that fantastic friend a few days later //oddly enough that loss woke me the fuck up and I can honestly say that I'm living so much more now. Made a promise to myself to put myself out there, express my feelings more, see my friends and let them know they're special to me . Ended up reconnecting with people I really love and missed. Cutting off people I don't need and really just trying to live for me and keep a positive outlook. I've forgiven and forgotten most things but ya know how that goes.. more forgiving to do. (I love you forever, Ed. 🥀You changed my life in so many ways.)
•Modeling has become something super meaningful to me and I feel super blessed to see my progress within that sphere of my life. Thanks times a million to everyone who has supported my work and to the photographers who reach out to work with me. I appreciate the fact that you want to share your creative thinking with me.
•Happy to say I'm finishing school in spring, am living with some amazing individuals and have solidified some healthy relationships with my friends around me. I'm still working on some family members who think they know me but aren't really trying to care enough to see who I really am but.. it's all progress.
That's all the new year can be for you, more progress. 🌹✨
