That’s all I needed to cheer up my day..

“When I was 16 years old she decided to relive her youth. My dad wasn’t around so I had to take care of my two younger sisters. At some point the situation got out of hand and I left the house. For years I wandered from one place to another without anywhere to go. When my ex-girlfriend got pregnant it was the first time I found peace within myself. All of a sudden my goals were very clear. I changed everything about my life that was unstable. When we broke up we agreed that our issues would never be a burden to our son. I would never want him to go through same shit I went through as a little boy.”

When I asked her if I could take her photograph she agreed. Every shot I took she somehow looked away or tried to hide her face from me. I asked her if she felt uncomfortable in front of the camera, she answered: “I have been modeling in the past for quite a while. Being photographed reminds me of the fashion world. I’ve seen it up close and believe me it isn’t pretty. But your blog probably has nothing to do with that so I’ll try my best.”

“I travel the world making jewelry. Each country inspires me in a different way.”

“Are you a musician?”
“I’m trying to be..”
“Do you play music in the conservatory?”
“I play music in life..”
