Through the Eye of the Beholder

Exactly two years ago today I remember walking down the hall way of the Epic Hotel in Miami. I could barely wait to meet my new bunk mate for the 3 days until moving in to the model house. I was so over joyed with everything that has been happening; being in Miami, being accepted to the top 12, being on Model Latina etc. I was over joyed. I am an extremely bubbly person in general.. So in this case I was over the top bubbly. I remember knocking on the door and Jocelyn opens up the door with her hair up in a messy bun, wearing a robe. I was so excited I literally jumped and hugged her while saying “hi! Its so nice to meet you” The first thought in my head is wow.. she is really pretty especially for not having any make up on. I would say with in 5 minutes we had such a tight bond while bonding over million dollar match maker and hip hop music. It was crazy.. I have never experienced that before until that very moment. We then moved into the Model House in Miami for the show Model Latina ready to compete with the other women chosen. Again, we chose to room together. I have to say, still, to this day I never had such an amazing experience. To be honest, as much as I wanted the Model Latina title and as much I wanted to win. It started not to be about the competition for me. It is so rare to find a a true friend period but to find some one who exceeds your expectations in a friend especially a woman who is so incredibly talented and beautiful. I knew we would be friends forever, I have learned that it wasn’t the title, or the $10,000 that turned out to be the prize of that competition…. it was our friendship.. it was her.

After I came home when the show was done filming we were still as best of friends as we were on the show. She is apart of my family and I feel apart of hers. You know, friendships has their up and downs where we might let down or fail one another but I can honestly say that not once did Jocelyn ever let me down, ever let me fall or ever did anything BUT build me up. I cant thank God enough for blessing me with such an amazing best friend. Words can not express how much she means to me. We have our dreams and we are helping each other to make it happen. She is the Gayle to My Oprah. We will live in our wonderfully beautiful houses right next door to each other with our men- famous Designer Doyle Rice and Famous director Jeremiah Hu. There are people in this life that will teach you somethig about yourself that you never knew, who will make life more colorful, I am beyond grateful for her. I LOVE YOU JOCELYN CRUZ!!!! HAPPY TWO YEARS BABY!!!!! WHEN I COME HOME TO CALI ITS MY TURN TO COOK OUR BEST FRIEND ANNIVERSARY DINNER!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXXOOXOXOXOX BEST FRIENDS POR VIDA!!!!! TO THE NEXT 22200000000 YEARS!
