Once upon a time there was a girl. She liked to take pictures of herself. And she liked it when others took pictures of her. As she got older she got taller then most of the other girls in her highschool and soon she was 5 91/2". She wanted so badly to walk the runways of paris and milan. She lived in a place where she was surrounded by her friends who just wanted to get married and knit their lives away while pregnant and never explore the world. The girl was different from her friends, and did not want to give her dreams up for any man. She got up the courage to move to las vegas and follow her dreams. She worked as a waitress to pay her bills and she got professional photos done. She was rejected by modeling agencys many times and felt like giving up, but luckily, she was hired as a runway model and had to go to milan and do a runway job.
She now lives in las vegas and she travels the world and does what she loves to do. However, she has no friends because she left them all.

She left them all with her friends who gave their dreams up for some man.
If you were wondering, that girl is me.

A woman, alone, and making a living by her looks, (proffessional "eye candy"). How "strong" and "independent". What are you going to do next to spite men, pose naked?
The greatest irony is, it's men that hold your career in their hands. If they aren't attracted to or pleased with your appearance, you have no job. You left one man to be controled by many.

I am all for not letting a man destroy your dreams- I moved across the country, went to law school and passed the Bar to escape from the man holding me back and fulfill my dreams.
However, I did not loose my friends in the process.
Just because you refuse to let a man hold you back does not mean you should reject your friends because they have made different choices.
If they are truly your friends you would accept their choices, even if that choice is to stay with a man and have a family. Maybe that is their dream. Priorities change and what was important to them in high school is very unlikely to be as important to them as they mature.
I wonder if you are truly happy with what you love to do? If so, I don't think you would be as upset about loosing your friends.

That's nice and all, but I had to give up my dream of being a model at the age of 10 when I discovered that I was never going to be tall, and always had a few extra pounds. So whatever.

I think its great you followed your heart and didn’t settle for what everyone eles around you wanted out of life…but then again everything has a price and so does ambition !!!
But you know what at least your doing what you want…I mean I couldn’t and wouldn’t ever settle with being just someone’s wife or mother ever…I want and demand more from life!!!! Hmmm and I think most woman should..:)…and do whatever it takes to get our dreams..

I have to say, if you are truly doing what you love, that's great. I personally stopped believing in dreams long ago. Not to mention true friends can be hard to come by but when you find them, never let them go.
As a side note: GO YOU for not letting a man destroy your hopes and dreams!!

I have two dreams of (one) getting married, raising wonderful children, having a nice living, and having a good relationship with neighbors and old friends, and (two) pursuing my career in Science and accomplishing all my goals. Am I independent?
Have you tried contacting your friends; that would be pleasant to start talking to them again. It's never too late to do anything.

Your friends stay your friends. Well your REAL friends do. Make a couple of calls to see who is where and what they are doing, reach out. You were strong enough to reach your goals and for that I applaud you, now see where your friends are in their lives.Never give up your dreams, but always keep them in priority. So reach out you may be surprised!

You are such a role model for me! You're so independent and all! ...But, I think there's no one who could stand to live all by her/himself..Loneliness is the greatest pain of all for me. Staying alone but independent like you needs a big courage, and I really admire you for that. But do you think it's really necessary to left all of your friends just becoz they're not as tough as you and have different perspective of life from you?

There is nothing wrong with your friends. We choose what we need to do to make us happy. Call your friends. If they are true friends they would talk to you. The most important thing to do is to be comfortable with yourself.
