THE STORY
Who you are today will not be who you are tomorrow.
We are always evolving.
It is life experiences and lessons which make us grow through life.
I grew a lot quicker than the people around me.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I see the world differently.
I cut off my relaxed hair at the age of 11 after spending 8 years
applying a thick white ointment to remove each curl that swirled.
I had to learn to re-create myself at such a young age which was one of my biggest life lessons.
I relied on my straight and silky hair to fit into societies standards of beauty.
It was gone and now all that grew from my scalp were curls which were not to be tamed.
My skin became a place which reflected my growth from a girl to a woman.
At times, I felt like giving up and I didn't think I would ever look in the mirror and
feel love for the girl in my reflection.
in time, I began to heal.

My Mother is my teacher.
I was taught from a young age to respect myself,
I was taught to be independent and to never rely on anyone.
Relying on someone for happiness is not healthy,
because that person may not be with you forever.
At a young age, I was travelling alone to different parts of the world.
I was creating my journey of all the things I wanted to do;
whether it was acting, singing and dancing classes
or my love for modelling which I didn't pursue because of feeling insecure of my flaws.
Age does not define maturity.
You can be 90 feeling 20 and vice versa.
Experiences make you grow.
Once I learnt the importance of things and people being placed in your life to teach you.
I understood that how I dealt with them defined my maturity.
We all have a story, some we hide in the back of our minds.
Some we share because they make us who were are.
But once you can tell your story without feeling pain,
that is when you know you have healed.

Your happiness is the most important thing in the world.
Whatever does not make you happy is not worth your time.
It does not make you selfish to remove what does not help you grow.
If it is meant to be, it will be.

Whatever you feel, go with it.
Life is too short to overthink the thought.
Be free, create magic and embrace love.
