2016 changed my life ✨ for the better.
I was 22 years old.
And when you’re 22, you want to take on the world 🌍
I was ambitious.
Restless.
Full of dreams that felt bigger than me 🔥
That was the first time I went to New York 🗽
The first time I signed with agencies in Europe ✍🏼
I lived in Paris 🇫🇷
I lived in London 🇬🇧
I lived in Milan 🇮🇹
I walked those cities endlessly, chasing opportunities, learning as I went 🚶🏻♀️
I worked harder than I ever had before.
I said yes to everything.
I did campaigns I never thought I’d be part of 🤍
That was also the year I started learning English 📱
My phone was full of Rosetta Stone screenshots.
I didn’t even realize I was building a future… I was just working for it ✨
It was the year we moved in together 🏡
Young, far from home, believing in dreams that didn’t even have names yet 💭
He believed in me before the world did 🤍
He walked beside me.
He stayed.
There were wins ✨
Unimaginable opportunities.
And there were hard moments too.
Surgeries.
Fear.
Exhaustion.
Learning when to let go and walk away 🌫️
So much happened that year.
I didn’t know it then…
but that 22-year-old version of me
built everything I am today 🤍✨
Ps: We played “Banana Pancakes” not because it was new…
but because it felt like ours.
