a tiny goodbye to pageantry. little alex wouldn’t believe for a single second she wasn’t going to miss usa. thank you for being my escape, my sense of self empowerment, and bringing me all these beautiful people into my life. thank you to every single soul who has encouraged me at any part of the way. proudly handing my crown over to the beautiful Reese Raeburn. you’re gonna go so far in life. i’m honored to have shared a stage with you <3
