This past year has been an eye opening and changing year for me. I have lived life to the fullest and I have taken the initiative to surround myself with those that bring me joy instead of those who don't. I have noticed a change in my outlook on life, but also a change in the version of myself I give the world.
This summer while living in New York and waking up and getting to do what I loved every day, I was the happiest I've been in a long time.
It was so interesting to me, every time I met someone new in New York the first thing they would say to me was something about how big or bright my smile was. My first reaction was always to laugh and make a joke about how my dad is my orthodontist, or say he wanted my teeth so perfect he put braces on me twice. Both are true and to be frank I tried to have him put braces on me a third time because if you look ever so closely my midline is slightly off. No one would ever notice except of course, "the orthodontist kid."
I didn't really think much about it until I came back from my summer in New York. When I left even my friends and family would tell me how much happier I looked. Even when I got back to Auburn I was happier than I had been the past three years. I would love to think that New York is what made me so happy, but I think it was getting to experience what I loved in the real world. See, the thing is it doesn't matter where I end up, just that I do what I love. Of course, I love New York, who doesn't but fashion is about more than just New York. Fashion is everywhere.
So, no matter where I end up I know if I'm doing what I love with the people I love, I'll keep the same big bright smile.
