Hi SG land @rambo @missy , and happy Monday!

Today I want to talk about how I've benefitted from this site - and I'm not just talking about growing as a model (though that's also true), I'm talking about how I've grown as a person.

I'm the kind of person who is overfilled with anxiety.

So overfilled that sometimes I avoid my messages, I don't take calls, I cancel my plans - and I've never really had people understand why before this site. I've been able to talk with people here (SGs, Hopefuls, and members) and have them 100% understand why I need that break. It's taken so much stress off my shoulders to be able to say "I'm having a hard time" and to not be greeted by silence, but with helping hands. Because of this, for the first time in years, I have an actual group of people I think of as friends (both online and off).

Speaking of my group of friends, I'm so grateful for the local hopefuls. These ladies have been so much fun to hang out with, and I can't wait until our next hangout with all of us there! We've been doing more one-on-one or smaller group hangs, and I'm so lucky to have met these girls, and it never would have happened if it hadn't been for SuicideGirls!

I wanna give a little extra special love to @jacqui_daniels who was my photographer on my most recent set. It was the first SG set she shot and it was so much fun working together! I haven't seen her in a minute because she's busy slaying at literally everything she does, but I'll be seeing her soon to help promote the upcoming @blackheartburlesque show!

Because of SuicideGirls, I've really been able to spread my wings and come more into myself. Since starting my journy less than a year ago, I've changed so much and I'm happy to say I'm doing better than I ever have.

Has SuicideGirls changed your life? Tell me how in the comments!
