Given the title, I feel a sense of irony leaving a comment telling you how seen I feel: body’s health deteriorating after physical trauma, falling in love around the same time, physical and financial precariousness, losing loved ones, watching my once unique beauty fade. Heck we are even nearly the same exact age. Circling back to the title, I have my own experience and complicated relationship with 12 step largely because of my injuries. I’m glad you wrote this and feel less alone
hi, speaking as a 35 year old model who got started around the same time you did and has followed your career and you ever since - your writing and your candor breaks my heart in a really cathartic way. I hope you are able to heal, whatever that means to you, or at least find some peace in this reality, and I hope your writing facilitates that so I can keep reading
This is beautiful and very well written. You are a force of incredible (and extreme) creativity. After reading this, it seems to me your brain is functioning at the top of its game, despite the rattle hurdle and all the obstacles you’ve had to overcome to get here. I have always admired your carefree approach to life - it shines through your work always. Me and my sister often will reference your Ffrank Cadillac posts in our goofing around because those are so hilarious and inspiring. You’ve done so much, man. Now just relax with your man, let him take care of you - and enjoy. You’ve earned that and so much more.
Jennifer Egan’s “Look at Me” is about a model towards the end of her career who is in a car crash and becomes unrecognizable to her former world and herself and must reconstruct her sense of self. I’ve always been curious for public facing people who deal with so many projections how much they might not feel like themselves without an audience
you are very brave.. thank you for sharing this. i, too, feel like an hourglass that’s filling up from the inside.. there must be meaning to all of this.. right?
