Over these past few weeks I have come to develop even more respect for Angelina Jolie not only as an artist/performer but as a person as well; I absolutely admire how she dealt with her health issues and has always been a source of inspiration for me throughout my life and honestly think she will always be so.
People would jokingly compare me to Angelina and think much of it has to do with we really had similar life experiences and I think sometimes even though we do not meet people they can go through similar life events and this can help us in turn grow as people. This is exactly for me with Angelina...after both of my parents died I became pretty much a wild child [if you want to call it that] but it was my relationship with my big brother who ultimately calmed me down and now just a little bit older understand things in my life much easier. I am also so thankful to my big brother and my close friends because know during that time I definitely wasn't the easiest person to be around.
When I learned of Angelina's humanitarian work it actually inspired me to do something more and think of others besides myself and it was then I began doing work advocating for women's health issues and anti bullying and to this day still involved with these issues. I'm still growing as a person and still learning, I'm young and at times probably bound to do semi reckless things but no one is perfect either. I also feel if Angelina can grow as a person and see where she is today...there is so much for me to strive for.
She also has Brad Pitt and for me my version of that and not going to lie would be Justin [Bieber] but you know...I am taking my life one day at a time and enjoying performing and my humanitarian work and when the timing is right...everything else will fall into place.
So overall, I am thankful that for me and sure others can have someone like Angelina to look up to...she's who I want to be when I grow up.

much love,
Nat
