“You’re beautiful. I love your style!”

“Thanks. I just moved here to the city and I had been dressing low key, but today I decided to do it up.”

“Do you model? I do mostly street portraits but I’ve been thinking about trying some fashion stuff.”

“Yeah, fashion stuff is cool. It’s so much about the outer appearance of things. And that’s okay. Whatever you do, there’ll be some element of your truth in it. But I want to do something more.”

“Like what? What are you passionate about?”

“I’m exploring that now. That’s why I moved to the city. Before I really knew what I wanted I would say, ‘I’m so bored, or that life sucked’ and my mom would antagonize me and ask me if that was what I wanted to manifest.”

“That’s awesome that at an early age you were learning the power of words and intentions. A lot of people aren’t taught those things and then there can be a lot of suffering because people feel like they’re not in control of there lives.”

“Exactly. I’m really glad you stopped me.”

“I’m really glad I stopped you too.”
