A bit of vulnerability in this post.
The number 27 has lived in the back of my mind from childhood into early adulthood. Because of the stories I would hear of legends we admire, and the weight attached to the “27 Club.” Legends like Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones and Jim Morrison. Being so attached to this number, in my darker moments I sometimes overthought where I myself would be at 27. I have friends from all different walks of life and with that has come a reflection of different versions of myself. I’ve never spoken about how “27 club” impacted my life.
With people I love losing their lives, taking their lives, and growing up with a mindset that taught me to carry the weight of the world quietly… while still trying to make everyone around me feel seen and heard, even if it meant making myself smaller in the process.
I am bold, confident, and love to be sexy. I’ve learnt that I can be exactly that, prioritising myself alongside the love I give to others. I have always known who I am but this version of me was screaming to come to surface after enduring so much.
27 has been beautiful. There is always yin with yang in life, and you decide your fate. You can really do anything, be anyone. And the woman I am today, I will protect her undeniably. No more playing it small to make people comfortable, and she is strict on only having people around who are busy chasing their highest self to worry about the journey of others.
I’m becoming more of the woman I always dreamt of being as a little girl.. softer in some ways, fiercer in others. The difference now is that I’m no longer shrinking myself to fit into spaces I’ve outgrown. Forever grateful & blessed to all of the beautiful human beings in my life who show up with love and support.
So this photoshoot was for me. To pouring into myself. #27 #pouritup 📸 @sunnlover1
