I MODEL because I WAS RAPED. For me being raped gave me an insecurity. I felt that maybe I was ugly. Maybe I was stupid, maybe if I would’ve did this differently that may not have happen. I felt like everything bad that ever happen to me was all my fault and maybe I deserved it. I felt that I would never experience real love from a man because I didn’t have that love from my father. Maybe if my mother paid more attention to me and not men that I wouldn’t feel so sympathetic to the wrong men. I MODEL because one day I woke up and realized that not everything is my fault. Yes, I have definitely made some mistakes in my life, but those things do not define who I am as a human. For every action there is a reaction. For a long time I blamed everything on being raped. I didn’t own up to flaws. I had to realize I couldn’t keep losing more than I was gaining, it was time for change and that change starts with me. I MODEL because there are women out there that have a story very similar to mine, and they don’t know how to release the anger and tension that they have. Many of these girls and women feel sheltered, they feel bottled in, the feel like they aren’t good enough, their ugly that nobody will ever want or accept them. I MODEL because I once was that girl and that no longer is the woman that I want to see when I look in the mirror every day. I was to be the woman who looks in the mirror everyday motivating and inspiring others to see the true beauty that is them…..
