A Difficult Goodbye 🖤

It’s honestly absolutely wild to me that I’m writing this.

I created this Instagram account when I was 19, after my first boyfriend broke up with me. I remember saying to my sister, “Well… I have so much free time now. I can either start an Instagram or buy a cat.”

And apparently, I chose Instagram.

Well… here I am, 30 years old now, and somehow this little decision turned into more than a decade of my life.

So many years, so many people, friendships, collaborations, artists, photographers, brands, projects, adventures and memories. I’ve changed so much along the way, and many of you have been here to see it happen.

That’s why saying goodbye to this accounts feels incredibly emotional to me.

But after a lot of thinking, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to close this chapter and move on to something new. I’ll be closing this Instagrams at the beginning of October, and my Patreon and other platforms will be closing around the same time. All the important information is in the slides.

I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for being here, for following me, supporting me, laughing with me, talking to me, and being part of this strange, unexpected and beautiful journey.

I don’t know what the future will bring. Maybe this is really goodbye, maybe our paths will cross again somehow.

But for now… thank you for everything. 🖤
