I clicked this on a whim to read while on this long train across Germany and I'm so glad I did, especially because I didn't know about you or your content before. There's a level of honesty and realness here that's pretty rare. I love that you spoke to things like shyness, privacy, and how special this chapter would be for your fourteen-year-old self... sounds like you're making her proud in so many ways.
first of all, shout out to lookbook! I wish we had an archive or something.
I too have had a friend share that they knew my online presence could be so much more if i shared more of me, so this definitely hit home. Very happy that you will be experiencing your first PFW, may it be everything you wished for and more!
What a great piece! That feeling of belonging within the work we do, but most importantly to ourselves, changes the game. I can relate to protecting your privacy while wanting to share your voice and perspective. I just did a piece on belonging vs fitting in, perhaps you might enjoy it. I enjoyed yours and will be subscribing! Thanks for sharing your experience.
