Chyler Leigh Instagram – IT’S LITTLE ME! This picture was part of a modeling composite that I had to hand over whenever I went on a casting call for a print ad. I was 12 or 13 here. I’ll be honest, I hated modeling. I hated anything that brought attention to myself because I didn’t feel worthy of the attention. I didn’t like people seeing me. I didn’t feel worthy of anything. But this picture was a rare moment where I didn’t feel pressured to be someone else. It was a rare moment caught when I felt ok to just be me. I look at this picture and realize I can see it one of two ways… I was either climbing that tree to escape or conquering that tree to feel alive. Sometimes I still struggle with the idea that I’m worthy of good things, of good moments. We are transient beings and life is ever-changing, sometimes it feels like I want to climb that tree to escape. But life is so worth living. It’s worth the bumps and bruises and the scrapes if we fall because they only make us stronger and remind us we’re still alive. Live it up today, regardless of your circumstances. Conquer whatever tree you find, even if you can’t get outside. Your journey is worth the climb❤️ Repost from @createchange.me – A message from the Create Change team to our CCO, Chyler @chy_leigh , with this sweet photo courtesy of her hubby, Nathan @eastofeli : “Thank you.
