One gradually finds themselves where mistakes and wisdom meet. The combative nature of the mind must settle in the depths of honesty and it is in this place where one come realize fatality, making some things have an air of insignificance. When hit with a reckoning, it is then a light revealing the steps one must take on their path, one that is uniquely their own. No one can live your life but yourself, it is a published first draft, and that in itself is art.
Hope Schoening, 21, has embodied life as art through her vibrant creativity and zest for the magnitude of unparalleled fashion.
