This morning I said goodbye to my friend and talent Alyssum Li. You made art but you are art personified. I'm going to miss your light and your spirit, your expression and creativity. I'd never met someone like you before.
You are the exact kind of person I started this agency for. I miss your smile and the way showed me how it's completely ok to be your full self. That's what you taught me, not to hide who I am, but to embrace myself fully. You were patient with me and my endless projects and ideas.
I'm angry at a world that can let someone like you, so full of life feel something horrible as loneliness. Someone who is a light deserves to be surrounded by light and love in return.
I'm heartbroken that we didn't get to go for our coffee date. But I'm grateful to know you, grateful for the art we shared, our photoshoot sessions, our talks.
Rest well friend. Lots of love,
Chi
