So funny (though not much laughing) how one day we think we want a certain life and then the next we want the one we just had. In my experience this keeps occurring.

You know I think that you are not only very gifted but also very truthfully wise. I'm sure that I am not alone. I hope that amid the wanting for something else that you are able to plan your way towards it, and also accept that your goals will change once you achieve them, which is only natural. Mostly I hope that you are able to enjoy the times that you find yourself in as much as you can.

SO SEXY

Good way to celebrate your day, woman's day.

Looks like you had a relaxing day!

you are ABSOLUTELY gorgeous

In life the only person you will ever have complete control over is yourself. Accepting this fact going forward can help to ease the strength of your stress and anxiety. Life is a constant state of transition and cycles and yours is only just getting started. Along the way you will find it necessary to let go of old and outmoded habits that no longer work or fit in your current state and move on to better ones... recognizing setbacks and obstacles for what they are can only lead to a better understanding of your place in the universe. In short you learn from your mistakes and move on. Go forward with smiles Lauretta and you will prevail.

We are only immortal for a limited time so take life by the balls and run with it in your own fashion. While you're at it, keep modeling because you are a natural ... and I must admit photos of you make me feel warm and tingly. Thank you for that!

Speaking of which...

Roberto's photos are incredible. You look particularly radiant in them.

Encore!

Security vs. freedom is a common internal battle many of us have to fight. Some people need a sense of stability and security in order to be creative and do their best work. That's the way I have always been. Others feel more alive and creative when there's a stronger sense of freedom, uncertainty and risk. My advice is to try to figure out which is the greater motivating factor for you (not your parents, bf or anyone else). Neither approach is wrong, but one or the other is likely to be more right for you. The key to being happy is finding your correct answer - not someone else's.

Whichever path you choose, it's not an all-or-nothing deal. If you decide to put safety first, there's no reason you shouldn't also make plans that allow your creative spirit to flourish. It just wouldn't be in a primary employment setting, starting out. If you decide that the safer choice is just something you really don't want to do, there's no reason you can't also take steps to limit and mitigate your risk. What's important is finding the right balance for you, and always having a backup plan in case things don't work out the way you had anticipated.

Those Girardi photos are spectacular - you look even more amazing than usual.

Incredible pics!!!
