This weeks blog assignment by @missy and the team :)
I'm not an SG yet, but this blog hits home for me. Before my SG journey, I felt my life was pretty plain, I was just going through nursing school, spending ungodly hours on Tumblr haha, and just daydreaming about extraordinary things I wish I could do. I stumbled upon the SG a few years ago on Facebook, I never thought I'd be apart of this world, I didn't think I had what they were looking for. I followed on Facebook, and one day I saw a picture of Milloux. After that, I started doing my research. I became obsessed with the site and everything SuicideGirls stood for. My official SG journey began November 2013 when they had a contest, I entered and that's when new doors started opening for me. My self confidence has skyrocketed, I feel amazing and empowered in my own skin, I feel more self satisfied, and I have never been happier with life than I have been the past 4 months. This was the extraordinary thing I've been craving. Being apart of SG is like a family. When you're a member, you gain many friends, when you become a Hopeful, you get tons of Hopeful sisters who stand with you and support you, and even some SuicideGirls. It's the support I get that's so overwhelming. I come from a family where tattoos and other body modifications are not accepted. I get no support from my parents or my sister, (my brother is an uncaring party when it comes to modeling, but he doesn't understand tattoos). My own sister has called me nasty names for showing my body, but I believe nudity is an art form. The other Hopefuls do nothing but uplift each other, and I enjoy supporting other beautiful ladies. With my friends, there are some negatives and positives. Some friends I have lost, I even had someone tell me, ''I liked you before you enable your sexiness to the masses,'' and, ''only a whore would be apart of a thing like that.'' Friends unfriended me and unfollowed me from social networks. At first it bothered me, but the more Hopeful sisters I've gained, the less I noticed people I once knew disappearing from my life. My closest friends support me, they even help me pick what to wear for sets, finding photographers, helping me with hair and make up, and some even offered to shoot sets with me. I gained a few friends I once went to high school with who enjoy the alternative lifestyle. The best thing about SG for me is the confidence I have gained and the friends I have made. I want evey person to feel great in their body. Your body is a temple, and no one should feel embarrassed or ashamed in their own home. I'm proud to be apart of this community. I wouldn't trade this for anyone's approval.
Love, DreamStar
