Wake up, whatever is happening is just happening.

Its all about self acceptance,” she explained.

“This is the chapter of my life Im trying to embrace now.

Sometimes its challenging, and you just have to understand that youre good enough and that you are beautiful.

I like to say the word life-ing instead of aging, chasing youth is just futile.

I think it’s embracing who you are and not chasing youth.

Kind of just chasing where you’re at, accepting where you are.

That’s the best.”
