"Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something; forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on."~Criss. J.

“You owe it to yourself to be happy. To prove others wrong. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by emotions. It’s easy to feel like giving up. Challenge yourself, keep going. Don’t let your current situation, determine your future.” ~Pharel

Awesome news! I'm beyond happy to see the micro wedding photo's that I modeled for was published on the front page of @stylemepretty . The team I worked with was extremely fun, and professional. I can't wait to do this again.

“Vulnerability. We were taught it’s a weakness, and traded this beautiful trait in for an armored exterior that must be worn at all times. Empathy. A trait that has been undervalued and mimicked for show. True empathy is powerful. It’s the ability to reach out and touch another human beings heart. The characteristics we were told to hide have the ability to heal.” ~Pharel

“Do you know who you are? You are everything you want to be and more. The universe is aligning and working in your favor each and every day. So why are you chasing? Whats meant for you, won’t have to be chased, it’ll just be. Like a puzzle piece waiting to be discovered and placed in the right spot. Stop chasing and start attracting. Stop doubting and start believing. You are your wildest dreams.” ~Pharel

“Sometimes you have to revisit the foundation to lay things down properly. Starting over isn’t always a setback, sometimes it’s exactly the reset you need.
I see it as a chance to begin again, this time with more knowledge and experience. That’s the beauty of it all. If you’re still here, you get to reset, start over, and try again. “~ Pharel

“Individuality. The one thing that makes us unmistakably our own. No two people are meant to be the same, and that’s the beauty of it. Admiration is natural. Inspiration is inevitable. But originality is what happens when you choose to be your authentic self. Why try to be like someone else when one of the most powerful things you can be is yourself? Individuality is power.” ~Pharel

“The same love you pour into others is the same love you deserve to give yourself.
You show up with kindness, patience, and understanding for everyone around you yet somehow forget you deserve softness too. Fan away the naysayers. Safeguard your soul fiercely. Find your voice and trust it. And when something threatens your peace, give yourself permission to walk away. Staying in places that dim you is an erosion of self. You deserve the love you so freely give.” ~Pharel

“Perspective is one of life’s key formulas. When something you’ve worked for doesn’t go as planned, you can give up, or see it as redirection. A chance to try again, better this time. Regret can hold us hostage in the past, or it can teach us how to forgive ourselves. Failure is inevitable. Regret happens. But both can become fuel when seen through the right lens. How you view your setbacks will determine how you experience life.” ~Pharel

“One of the greatest things a person can do is sit with themselves, and be comfortable while doing so. No tv, no phones, and no friends. Just you and your thoughts. Take time to get to know yourself, your true self. It’s easy to fool ourselves when we’re surrounded by people who feed our delusions. It’s easy to feel justified when we find a post that mirrors the narrative that we’ve been wanting to hear. But sometimes you have to sit alone, and silence out the noise.” ~Pharel
