Wilted roses remind me of all the love I’ve given away that withered away. Everything I love withers away like petals that fall from a flower. Wilted roses remind me of my life and how over the years everything has withered away.

In this era of my life I’m fully protecting my peace. It’s been a long time coming but I’m acting on insight and intuition, doing what’s best for me. Reflecting realizing now that I was not valued, appreciated, and protected in my formative years. Learning harsh lessons earlier on allowed me to see the pathway forward for me and how I was going to proceed with my life. I didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of what everyone else my age was doing. I’ve always had my head in the clouds wishing and wanting for something bigger in my life. Being a trailblazer, I set out to live the life I’ve always dreamed of pursuing career opportunities in writing, fashion, and the beauty industry.

I’m now I’m a place where I know my worth, I know my value, and I will never depend on anyone else to validate my thoughts about myself and decisions on how I decide to live my life. My energy is rare, exclusive. Anyone that has access to me is very special and loved. My space is sacred to me because it’s my place where I can recharge. I value those who are in my life and want to support me, love me, and want the best for me always.

As someone who always hopes for the best for those around me, I have finally shifted the focus to myself remembering the things I’ve always worked hard for over the years but never acknowledged. I want others to see my story as a guide to help improve their lives, building their own story for themselves. It’s important for me to always advocate for empathy and kindness always. You never know what someone else is going through. A small act of kindness might just be the thing that inspires them to change their lives for the better.

Energy is currency.

10 years ago if you would’ve told me my dreams of becoming a full-time fashion/beauty writer and blogger I wouldn’t have believed you. Becoming a content creator became a dream of mine when I made my own YouTube account in 2009. At that time, the fashion/beauty community was on the rise posting day in my life vlogs, hauls, etc. I wanted to share my story through words.

I was inspired by the positivity, and authenticity from the creators on the platform. I saw people that were living a life they loved. This was something I knew I was meant for and would ultimately change my life for the better. At 15 I decided to make my dreams a reality by taking the first step. Now, at 25 I’m a client for Change The Caption Social Media Studio.

Reflecting after 10 years, I’ve learned that if you have a dream in your heart follow it. It’s inside your heart for a reason and will never steer you wrong. One small positive decision has the ability to change the whole trajectory of your life in the best way if you have the courage to chase after the things that you want. I’m so thankful and grateful for all that have supported my dreams since starting my passion project. Here’s to another 10 years!
