The last 8 months really kicked my ass. I don’t know if you can relate, but I lowkey started to feel defeated. The last 3 weeks tho, I’ve Been on a continuous streak of motivation and I’m feeling my ambition and creativity come back to me. A few days ago @shyyvonne told me to reach out to her friend @josealvarado to shoot portraits. I hadn’t had a photoshoot in over a year, so I was slightly apprehensive and full of self doubt. But I decided to trust her, and be open to the doors the universe/God is opening for me. We ended up having an awesome shoot and connection. Here is one of the shots 📸 the moral of the story is, even when you feel like it’s over, it’s really not. Don’t let your current circumstances dictate your future. Things can change overnight. Hold on and keep going. . . Thank you @josealvarado for coming to my home and capturing me in my essence. Thank you @shyyvonne for being a friend and sharing. thank you @jypsyjeyfree / @jypsyland for sprinkling me with glitter and pixie dust. . .
