You know, today wasn’t the best day for me. I didn’t win the pageant, and it did hurt. I just dont’t think I accept failure that easily. I’m not used to failure. I work hard for everything I have and the harder I work, I always get what I want. But this time, it was different. As hard as I tried, I failed. 

But you know what? I’m not going to walk away from this experience with failure hung over my face. Instead, I’m walking away from this experience with a learning experience. I’m learning from my failures. And thats the best that I can take from this. 

Thank you to all my friends who came out and supported me. You guys are the best. I wouldn’t trade it for the World. I felt beautiful up there and that’s all that matters to me. 

Regardless, I’m still having a bad day.
