Today I turn 25. I don’t think I necessarily feel a monumental shift, a sudden wisdom or anything. But I do know I’m a different person than I was when I turned 24 a year ago. Work was all consuming and I was exhausted, sad and lonely. I distinctly remember leaving my parent’s house one day and breaking down in the car at the thought of going back to my house and having to work the next day. It took me a few days but I eventually rang my parents, sobbing, and told them I just couldn’t do it anymore, I had to quit, and it was such a weight off my shoulders. I urge anyone feeling down to talk to someone. Anyone. I also urge you to do what’s right for YOU. Taking that leap, quitting a job that was draining and finding something more fulfilling and suited to me was the best thing I ever did. Coming into 25, I am so content. So for this year’s photo shoot I used little pressed flowers on my body - spring has sprung, I am blooming and it’s all sunshine from here on out and all that jazz 💛🌻🌞
