Hello, my name is Melissa. I am 18 years old and I come from a small town in Scandinavia where I lived with my parents and younger sister. Growing up, I was always interested in fashion and beauty, which inspired me to pursue a career as a makeup artist.
When I turned 18, I decided to move to the city to further my education and explore new opportunities. I moved into an apartment with some friends, but we soon realized that it wasn't the right fit for us. So, I ended up moving out on my own.
Despite being alone in the city, I was excited for this new chapter of my life. I loved the hustle and bustle of the city, and I felt like I could really make a name for myself here.
Unfortunately, things didn't quite go as planned. I struggled to find work as a makeup artist, and soon found myself in debt and struggling to make ends meet. But, I refused to give up.
Eventually, things started to turn around for me. I landed a job at a popular beauty store, where I was able to use my skills and learn new ones. And, slowly but surely, I began to build up my clientele and create a name for myself in the industry.
Now, I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, and we live together in the city. I continue to work as a makeup artist, and I love being able to help women feel confident and beautiful on their special days.
Overall, while things haven't always been easy, I am grateful for the experiences I have had and the opportunities that have come my way. And, I am excited to see where this journey takes me next.
