As many of you know, I went to Mexico over the summer to pursue my career as a “professional model”. The reality was, the people I thought were on my side tried taking advantage of this dream, and used my drive and passion for my career for their own selfish reasons. I was isolated, and in a place I had no friends, didn’t speak the language, and had no one around to make me feel “safe”. Did I get hurt? No. Do I regret going? No. Did I learn a lesson? Absolutely. I learned to take the rose colored glasses off and see things for what they truly are. When your gut tells you “it’s too good to be true” it probably means something. I’m blessed because I was able to do something that not many people are able to do. I was published and I did further myself as a “professional model” but what I really learned was it dosnt matter where I’m at, I can do this on my own. My love and passion for art, photography, and modeling is enough to get me to where I want to be. I guess the whole point of this is to share a little insight into this modeling world because in reality I’m 1000% positive this isn’t the first time this has happened to someone like me. I have a whole new prospective and honestly I love making my own content it feels raw and relatable. I actually enjoy what I’m doing now. This dosnt feel like a job and I don’t have to be perfect, have the perfect body or hairstyle or makeup or edit or whatever else these professional people want you to do. It’s just me. Am I done being a professional model? Absolutely not. But it’s not something I’m going to be fighting for because now I see it for what it is and I am able to do it on my terms. If u got thru this message I appreciate you for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I guess this is for anyone who wants to hear a little insight into this lifestyle/ industry. All I want is for someone to maybe read this and see the signs or get a feeling and know ur not alone and maybe be able to change their situation before something like this happens to them. Love you, Bella ❤️
