Hi there SG universe! The world is so crazy! I almost didn't even notice the day. Today, May 19th, is my 4 year PINKVERSARY. Yeah, I have officially been a SuicideGirl since May 19th, 2016. I thought it had been 5 years, but I was counting wrong, which feels even crazier! How could all of these wonderful things, all of these wonderful experiences, all of these AMAZING people, all have entered my life in just FOUR YEARS???? (I know I was a hopeful for a long long time but still). In just 4 years with SG, I have been to or through, I don't know, 48 states? I have been to at least 3 countries. I have worked conventions, meeting people and learning about fandoms I never knew. I have met life long friends from all over the world. It is so hard to reminisce on this while everything and everyone I love is so far out of reach, but nothing has every brought as much joy into my life as SuicideGirls has.
From a Hopeful: young and enthusiastic about the journey, short and awkward, learning to model, giggly when I get naked.
To a SuicideGirl: Learning to travel alone, learning to make friends, learning to love my body and be confident. Opening up, believing in myself.
To joining the tour: Crushing my own phobias (every single day), being competent, being a problem solver. Believing for the first time in my own power, in my organization and my intelligence. Forming bonds with women that feel absolutely unbreakable.
I swear, nothing could EVER replace or come close to casting a shadow on the huge light that SG lights in my heart. I can not wait to be back with my girls. I cant wait to be back with my friends, back shooting a new set, back on the road, watching these girls dance. I cant wait to hug and kiss my girls. I cant wait to meet everyone I have yet to. I can't wait to see how much bigger this life can get. I never could have dreamt I would be lucky enough to be where I am now.
Thanks for reading. Thank you for being a part of this with me. And a special thank you to @missy for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to be my best self. <3
