Yes, It can be really difficult. Especially on days when I remember that to be successful in this industry I need a good agency. It is mostly frustrating because I am so passionate about it, and I usually feel helpless.

I am glad I am a student and work at ModCloth.com, they are good distractions. Otherwise I might go crazy from just sitting around waiting for something to happen.

At the same time I wonder if I wasn’t in school or working, would I do better putting 100% into modeling. But my recent trip to NYC humbled me a little more than I expected, more discouraged than humbled I suppose.

But to be honest, if I gave up now I wouldn’t be happy. I have never before been so passionate about something. I usually go through phases with different hobbies and such, but I have been modeling for 2 years, and I haven’t gotten sick of it yet!

What’s in store now? Who knows, but my article on ModCloth seems to be getting a lot of responses! Also, I am taking a dive into freelance modeling to see where that gets me. Maybe someday I will write a book about this whole struggle… Who knows what is in store for me, and for all of you! Our futures are so bright!

I totally went off on a rant sorry about that Cheech! ;) But the answer is yes, it is. But it is worth it, and hopefully will be in the end.

<3 Happy Friday Everyone!
