8/4/2014 0 Comments In the pursuit of happinessSome days I wake up and think if I will ever get my life together. The thought of not knowing what my future will be in a few years, not knowing if my friends from now will even remember me after graduation or if I will be happy. It is hard to be dreaming of being a famous fashion designer/blogger when I'm just 17 years old , facing the same struggles of school, social life, and family. In my head it sometimes seems impossible that one day my dress may be featured in a red carpet, my article could be published in Vogue or that maybe some celebrity will wear my designs. In all honesty my dreams scare me. I am basically a teenager with no money, no connections, and no real idea of what I want from life. All I've been doing so far is trying to be happy by doing what i love which is fashion design, and writing my thoughts. It worries my parents that I will be a failure at life , living in a cheap apartment in manhattan with almost no money and being one of those lost souls inside New York City or Los Angeles being a nobody with dead dreams. I don't want to be that. I want to prove people that doubt my talent that one day I will work for a fashion magazine, or a famous brand and my biggest dream to own a wedding dress boutique. I am willing to work for all of it. Although my relatives or friends look at my work and doubt that I can make it in such a hard industry if I have one person by my side I can do it. The person I need is myself. I need confidence and strength to keep fighting for my dreams even though they may sound crazy, stupid , or fake. At the end of my day I want to know that what I'm doing is making me happy and making others happy. Inspire others with my work that has been created by the inspiration I have from others. Creativity is a chain where all of us connect , and we feed each other with art that makes us happy not only because it's beautiful but because it's a personal experience. If I die tomorrow I would die happily even though my name was not in 5th avenue, simply because I am happy I can incorporate my ideas in a design and in words. Making people happy brings me happiness and hopefully one day my designs will bring many smiles as well as my words of wisdom to all of you. "If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough"
