✨ I’m feeling a deep sense of some kind of metamorphosis. 🦋⭐️ I’ve been thinking so much about what note to leave you with as I embark on the next chapter & I think it’s this: If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s when making important decisions, ALWAYS listen to that first spark of intuition - the one that answers without hesitation. Channel the internal pull that takes you into the unknown. Even if it’s scary. Listen to your heart. I’ve had this account since 2011 and deciding to discontinue using it at first felt extremely unnatural, and then, upon listening to that little voice inside, I started to feel so free. ✨ From this point on I will no longer be continuing my job as an “influencer.” Thank you for everything. It’s because of you that I believe in myself enough to follow my intuition into the unknown. ❤️ I love you. ✨

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ~ yet, many seek to consume it as if there was a universal, undeniable definition. Continuously searching and longing for something other than beauty within. . . . As a teenager I felt this way. I couldn’t see past the illusion that beauty exists solely in physical attributes. I found myself caught in a perpetual loop of seeking exterior beauty and always feeling like I fell short. . . . So, I decided to sculpt a different reality. One where real, true, beauty lies in moments we experience, in the people we meet, in the stillness of time when flowers bloom and the sun sets. In shooting stars and a moonlit ocean. In laughter. In vulnerability. In presence. . . . Then, I learned that beauty in life is abundant. It flows through the world as effortlessly as blood in our veins, yet, for much of my life I chose to view it through a narrow lens that restricts and confines. I sought it beyond myself when the ability to define and experience it to the fullest existed within me all along. . . . I wanted to share this with you because I believe for many of us the longing for an archetype of physical beauty stands as a huge obstacle when it comes to fostering self love. & maybe we don’t always realize that there’s no universal definition of beauty. & the stories we tell ourselves about why we fall short are just an illusion. . . . When you begin to feel the creeping sense of doubt or insecurity, I hope you can remember to look past the illusion and understand that beauty is abundant. The ability to see it everywhere is within you, always ❤️⭐️. The mind can cage you, or, it can set you free. ✨

I’ve had a bit of writers block the last week knowing these are my last posts on this account. I’ve known since October that I wanted to stop using this profile come 2019 and since then I’ve been feeling so much emotion. Sometimes it’s nostalgia, sometimes it’s sadness for closing a part of my life that’s been so prominent in recent years, but, more often, I feel excitement for the future. . . . In many ways 2018 taught me that sometimes you have to let go of the things you love in order to start a new chapter. The past year I also learned to value my intuition, trust my creative compass and believe in the mystery of possibility. All of these lessons are at the forefront of my mind as I embark on the next section of my creative life, one that feels long overdue. . . . For the last eight years I’ve balanced an “influencer/ blogger” life with running my own business with Wild & Free Jewelry. For the most part I’ve done both of these jobs alone and at many points I felt torn between the two, always working around the clock because I wanted both passions to flourish. . . . After taking a huge step back, I’ve decided its time to channel all of my energy into my art. I want to start from the ground up and create a life where the only things I share online are the pieces I create with my hands and everything else is left to materialize in the tangible world, fading in and out of the present in the beautiful way life allows. I’m ready to give my creative dream everything I have for the first time. No more juggling multiple jobs at once. . . . Because of this I have to say goodbye to this account. I’ve decided everything on here belongs in another lifetime and that’s the way I want it to stay. I’ll be sharing just a couple more photos before I sign out and switch gears. . . . Thank YOU for following along for so many years and supporting me through different phases of growth and discovery. ❤️ It’s been a true gift to share part of myself with so many of you. ❤️ If you still desire to come along on the journey, you can find me via @wildandfreejewelry ✨

Psychedelic memories from Big Sur, shot on film (completely unedited) by @nataschaelisa 🌈🌿🌛 This image is from months ago, but in real life I’ve just returned from Thailand and it’s the first trip I’ve done in quite possibly years where I wont be sharing a single memory virtually with all of you. What you may not have seen behind the screen all this time is that I’ve been fighting to find a balance between living a present life and using this platform to connect & inspire. I’ve found it a HUGE challenge to honor my extremely introverted self while still authentically engaging with the amount of love & support that floods through this account on a daily basis. I want you to know how much it means to me that you’ve stayed with me even though it seems I step away from the virtual realm rather frequently now. 2019 holds some big changes for me as I’ve decided I’ll be discontinuing using this account. I’ll go into more details in the New Year and I have just a few more brands & insights I want to share with you before I leave. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for EVERYTHING. I’m already feeling nostalgic and emotional disclosing this bit of news but I know in my heart it will all be for the best. ❤️🌿

Another version of me in a distant reality where the sky is always pink 🌙✨💖

Hobbies include: obsessing over rainbows, snuggling animals & believing in unicorns. 😍🌈🦋 more rainbow inspired digital art for the wonderful New Zealand based label @_neongypsy
