Hey there! I'm Thaelie. My story's pretty standard for someone my age - or so it seems. Growing up as a kid with Nordic features always made me stick out in crowds, especially back home in the Midwest where the skin tone is usually a lot darker and more sun-kissed. But hey, being different isn't all bad! At least I'm not boring.
When I was younger, my mom would always make me dress up nice for special occasions - like family gatherings or parties. She'd insist on doing my hair and makeup, making sure I looked like a perfect little princess. It made me feel trapped sometimes though. Like I wasn't allowed to be myself unless it was on her terms.
As I got older, I started to rebel against that stuff. I began getting tattoos, dying my hair weird colors, and just generally embracing my individuality. Mom thought it was crazy, but hey - she's not exactly the most open-minded person in the world.
Nowadays, I'm all about expressing myself through art - whether that's painting, photography, or just random doodles on scraps of paper. It's a way for me to release all this pent-up energy and anxiety inside my head. Plus, it helps me connect with other people who get what I'm going through.
When did you become interested in photography? And do you have any favorite subjects that you like to shoot?
