Okay ! Its been a while , I know i feel as if i say this every time I make a new post . But honestly its hard for me to find time these days with travel and all the projects god has placed in my life . Im not complaining though ! As I wait for my brushes to dry it gave me a moment to sit down and talk to you guys about something that has been on my heart for quite some time now . And as my last post was very personal I figured we would follow suit and really talk about REAL topics . As some of you may know im 23 years old . I know It feels like im way older ( sometimes i feel as if i have lived a million lifetimes ). but none the less I am young in this game and am learning alot as time goes by. when I started doing makeup and posting looks I was VERY afraid . Because I was constantly seeing such amazing work online and it made me feel as if I would never get there . But I did not allow anothers talent stop me from growing mine . I networked and made friends I learned from some of the most talented people in the industry . I was always kind and generous with the little I had . Looking back even through the bad times im happy that I gave the people I have met along the way all that I had because in return I made some lifelong friends ( and filtered out some of the bad ones ). One thing that I want you guys to understand here on social media in general is that you will RARELY see 100% of the truth . Almost everything you see is smoke and mirrors . from the photoshop to the personalities . And im not passing judgment as its entertainment and people will always want to be entertained . But one thing ive always had a hard time swallowing is how the villians prosper and the good guys come last as far as social media goes . You cant be the good guy on social media . people want drama , they want gossip . and its sad . Ive come to terms though . I will not change who I am to please others . I wont be the villian , I wont undercut people , or stab anyone in the back . Because to me the bigger picture is my spirit and how im viewed for whats inside . there have been so many chances where I could have climbed the "social ladder" But in turn would hurt someone else . And each time ive said no . because its not worth it . never will be . You cant go around hurting others , because in turn you will ultimately hurt yourself . Remember that good things come to those who wait & work . remain humble and thank god for each time you are blessed with even an inch . I didnt really know where i was going with this post . I just want you to know that you will prosper for being the good guy . In so many more ways then just financial gain or popularity . You will find your self and love who you are . and that is more valuable then any number or like count on your social media pages .
yours always ,
Aiden .
