Denzel Wells (ANTM Cycle 21)
I don’t trust people too easily. I have always been very
careful with people because I have no idea what is going on inside their minds and
people with bad intentions are very good at hiding things and saying things that
are so convincing you even doubt yourself for having doubts. Despite my careful
approach to trusting people and building connections, I have been deceived.
I let my guards down for a little bit and I chose to look
the other way when I saw that something was not right. Now I paid the price…
I took it as a lesson and part of the journey that has taken
me to where I am at this moment. It was a painful lesson to learn but come to
think about it, if it didn’t happen and I wasn’t lied to, maybe I would still
be at home trying to find excuses to skip my Tuesday editorial meeting and
staying up all night watching the latest season of Transparent.
Thanks for being the lying asshole that you are, I now have
a bag line that I can be proud of, a column in local daily that I contribute to
and a whole new experience with someone that is really genuinely nice that
treat me like her own little brother.
This is not just me in denial trying to push aside the aftermath
of having two years of my life wasted on someone that wanted nothing more than
taking advantage of me and basking in my spotlight (a really dim spotlight). This is me trying to make sense of what had happened,
looking at the brighter side instead of letting anger and regret taking control
of me.
So I have made a promise to myself- NEVER AGAIN…
