str8t fa5hi0n | part I

str8t fa5hi0n | yesterday was one of the craziest days in my life. i am still in complete shock. i was reminded of how you can achieve anything you want in your life, if you truly believe in it & want it bad enough. at 4PM, I sat in a restaurant with my best friend.

I recognize those sneakers. I remembered those pants. I saw that WHITE T. i opened up Instagram to fact check my findings. does he have a silver bracelet on his right hand? yes. my heart is pounding a million beats per second. I let out an OH MY GAWD...
