Throwback. I don\u2019t want worrying about if I look hot or not on Instagram to be my legacy. I don\u2019t want to skirt around the truth to please other people or to gain economic success. I have far more important things to say than what magazine I just shot for or what tv show I\u2019m a part of (Although I\u2019m very thankful I still get to do what I love). I no longer want to project a curated life. I get immense joy when someone comes up to me & says that my willingness to open up about depression, anxiety, alcoholism, & addiction has helped them in some way. I\u2019ve struggled the past year with trying to find my voice and where I fit in & that has been the most beautiful struggle I\u2019ve ever had to go through. Worrying about what time to post on social media so I can maximize my likes or being mad at myself that I don\u2019t look the same way I did when I was addicted to pills is a complete waste of why I was put on this earth. I\u2019m posting these photos to let y\u2019all in on my truth. I\u2019m so grateful to be where I am now ( a year after these photos were taken) but man these times were dark. I\u2019m a human being with flaws just like you. If ur in the middle of the dark times\u2026I promise you it doesn\u2019t have to last forever. Love y\u2019all <\/a><\/p>\n
