Pictured above is me and my friend, Alana. I love her so much. In the early days of Alana’s modeling career, she did some crazy things to keep her figure intact. She’d starve herself, over-exercise, until ultimately she started doing drugs. Initially, she did cocaine to keep from gaining weight, and then it became a way for her to stay awake. It got so bad that she got involved with this popular drug dealer just so he could feed her drug habit for free. Needless to say, it wasn’t for free… Not only was he a drug dealer, but he was also SUPER abusive towards her. She ended up in the hospital numerous times because of him. Black eyes became the norm because all she had to do was conceal with makeup and the modeling agencies didn’t care as long as she showed up for work. She was on a downward spiral and was spinning out of control until she found out she was pregnant with her son. She quit doing drugs cold turkey and vowed to never see the father again, but this didn’t matter to him because he had already taken up with another model. Thankfully she was still close with her parents because they were the ones to help her with the baby. Her family still resides in New York along with her son who she visits twice a month. He’s in school right now so she didn’t want to have him start over in a new city but in two years she plans to move her whole family out to LA.
Alana’s been clean ever since and has been excelling in her career. She was one of the lucky ones; thank God she left that relationship when she did. She considers her son a miracle because he really changed her life. Who knows what would have happened had she never gotten pregnant with him.
Anyway, I have a long night ahead of me. It's almost the end of the month so I have to help my dad catch up with paperwork. Ugh, so not looking forward to it.
Thanks for listening!
Have a good night!
