Long Live All The Magic We Made

Name: Tom Brightman
Age:24
Bio/Character Study: Tom was born and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut. He attended Brunswick from the time he could walk. Tom was an only child. It was expected he go on to Princeton after his time at Brunswick. Tom did go to Princeton and graduated top of his class. From his sophomore year to his senior year, he dated a very nice girl, also from Greenwich, named Blair. Everyone expected that right after graduation, Tom would propose to Blair. Instead, he did the opposite and broke up with Blair. He decided he wanted to try something new: being independent. He was not just going to be an automaton of what his family wanted. He would be his own person. Tom decided to go against his family's wishes and not attend law school, like they had planned for him. He decided to try something completely different: being a photographer. He hadn't majored in photography, but he had taken one class in it and he loved photography. So Tom started a photography business and before he knew it, he was the assistant to a photographer for Time. That's where he is now, two years since he broke up with Blair. He hasn't had a serious relationship since then. He just hasn't found the right girl. But he's finding his life quite lonely. He has a job, he has some acquaintances, but no one who truly loves him wholly. His family barely talks to him, since he didn't follow the path. He doesn't have a girlfriend. All he has are acquaintances and some friends. He's finding himself wanting a child, someone for him to love and to love him.

Name: Isabella "Izzy" Grace Reagan
Age: 23
Bio/Character Study: Izzy was born in Williamsburg, Virginia on September 5th. Izzy had two older sisters, Savannah and Charlotte, and two older brothers, Grant and Dalton. Dalton was the oldest, he was seven years older than Izzy. Then, there was Savannah, who was five years older than Izzy, then Charlotte, who was four years older, and then Grant, who was two years older. Izzy never was very close with Savannah or Charlotte. Both of them were quite typical "southern belles" and that simply was not the life Izzy wanted. Dalton was very close to Izzy until she was sixteen, when he tried to convince Izzy to be a debutante and go to Sweet Briar for college. Izzy knew if she followed that path, she would end up married by 23. That was something she just didn't want. She wanted a chance to be independent. Her parents, Dalton, and her sisters did not support Izzy as she went ahead and applied to colleges outside of the south. However, when it came time to decide where she was going senior year, Izzy realized how much her parents mattered, as they were the ones going to pay for her college education. Izzy came to compromise with them, and she ended up attending University of Virginia. Now, she's recently finished college and she's finding she doesn't love her independence as much as she thought she would. She never thought it would happen, but she wants a family of her own. She doesn't want to marry or be in a serious relationship yet though, she just wants a child of her own.
Job: Working as a secretary in the mayor's office
Other: Izzy has always been known for her fear of commitment. She has never been able to keep up a long-term relationship. She wants to commit, but she gets scared once she's in and she runs, which makes it so weird that she wants a baby.
Model: Alexa Chung
Who they want to be paired with: Hunter, Connor Bryant, Peter Carpenter

Alex wanted to take a different approach towards nature. She wanted to focus on its calming nature, so she thought of going in a very organic fashion, using very subdued and calm colors.
 
In her photo, Alex is walking in a corn field wearing what's shown, but and her hair is flowing behind her. She is shoeless. Her pose is her with her arms stretched out and her head up to the sky, her eyes closed, she looks almost mid-twirl.

Times are changing. So am I. I'm putting myself first because I deserve it.

Its Time has been my motivator this week.
 
I guess I'll go ahead and explain.
 
A friend of mine killed himself. He was 16. He wasn't bullied. He was the most popular boy at school. He was always smiling. He was always happy. And now he's not here.
 
That's tough, 7 years and then nothing. It's really, really tough. I manage to survive and get through each day, feeling alright for the most part. I have moments, but I'm doing okay.
 
I guess I came back from Christmas break knowing that and I need to put my mind somewhere. Because its really tough, and I hear people talk about my fake boyfriend, who was this boy's best friend, and I hear this boy's words in my ears. But no one understands this. No one understands that.
 
I need somewhere to put my focus. So I've been doing better at school. But I've also been really into rebuilding myself. I'm so tired of being pushed around. I want to be myself. I'm so afraid that my sister will hear something that I don't act myself. It's time to start though.

(you can start)
 
@always-the-tone-of-surprise

Merry Christmas everyone! A tradition here on polyvore is for me to write an individual message to every one of my friends here, so here goes this year of 2012's.
 
@julia-elizabeth You're my best friend. I know things are changing for us both, our groups are expanding, our lives aren't so intertwined, we're making new friends: new best friends. But you will always be my best friend, because you're more than simply my best friend. You're like a sister to me. You're like, my other half. Not in a romantic way, but like when together, we can finish each other's sentences. We get each other. I love you, Julia. Merry Christmas to you and your entire family.
 
@caroline-the-prep Caroline, thank you. Thank you for understanding me when it seems like the rest of the world just wants me to shut up and stand in a corner. Thank you for letting me listen to you about your life, instead of just me talking about mine.
 
@katylinfeelsunpretty Things are tough for you, and I'm sorry. I believe in you though. I know you're going to do amazing things. God is watching over you and He has a plan and you're apart of that plan, just remember that. Everything that happens is somehow apart of God's plan for us.
 
@lambette Kasey, I miss you. I hope you get your life organized so you can come back soon and be your totally awesome self again.
 
@foreverandalways-emma Emma, what can I say to you? I love you. You're hilarious and the best.

It's been a while, and again for that, I apologize. I've just been a bit overwhelmed as of recently.
 
I feel my life changing all the time. Its not going to be stable and simple. I understand that, and I accept that. That's the life of a teenage girl. It's never simple, it's never easy, but I have to appreciate this happiness while I have it, because there will never be another time in my life where it'll be like this.

Hello darlings,
 
I'm sorry, it's been quite some time. I guess I'm writing to explain why. A quarter of the school year is now over, and it's truly changed my life. I realized that as I visited my old school today. The same kids were there. The same kids were pretty annoying. The same kids were being friendly. It was like nothing had changed for them, because nothing had. But I have changed. I've grown up a lot, I've had to grow up, not only because of high school but because of changes in my personal life. I know, I am never going back there again. Today, it might as well have been my goodbye. Because I realized I don't belong anymore. That's not my home anymore. It was my home for 9 years, but now, it's just not. My home's changed.
 
So I guess, adapting to all that change has been taking up all my time as of lately. I'll try to make sets more often.
 
Love Always,
Kate
