My name is SHAY
I’m a firm believer that artists and athletes are some of the bravest souls to grace this world. To me, they represent the 1% who took a risk to chase their dreams and worked, worked, worked to get to where they are. The true definition of commitment, dedication and pure inspiration.
Over the years, I’ve learnt to appreciate the simple things in life — the moments of joy we’ve been conditioned into believing aren’t joyous enough, the accomplishments we’re told aren’t high enough, and even the failures we’re told aren’t significant enough. In this fast paced ever-evolving loop of a world, so many incredible moments tend to be overlooked due to unfair comparisons.
It’s time for a change and change starts from within. It starts with accepting our difference, embracing our flaws and changing our perspective.
Perfection is unattainable - we strive for unique.
