The Model Issue-Dylan Foster

Those first steps have since opened a
handful of doors and, while Foster,
understandably, can?t disclose specifics,
but he has a few other magazine
features in the works? all of which
you?ll be able to follow on his Instagram
account once its reconstruction is
finished:@dyligent lem an, currently;
his username is subject to change.
These opportunities are more than
what he started with, though they may
not seem like huge breaks in such a
large and competitive industry. That?s a
thought that, if dwelled upon too much,
can bring about feelings of insecurity:
?There?s always going to be somebody
prettier than you, there?s always going
to be somebody that you think is better
looking than you, there?s always
somebody that?s better at it than you,
whether they?re better looking or not.
But you can?t let that get to you, you
know? All of us have those moments of
insecurity.? What matters and makes
the difference, Foster believes, is how
you deal with it.
So, how does he deal with it?
?I think that I have the drive to push
past my boundaries and go for my
dreams no matter what. I think that no
dreams no matter what. I think that no
matter my situation, I believe that I can
make it no matter the type of conflict
I?m in. The best thing is that I?ve got a
story. Everybody?s got their story, but I
have a story: the story of how I started
believing in myself.? And in today?s
world full of the highlight reels and
depictions of constant, unrealistic
perfection provided by a social media
server near you, the acknowledgement
of various struggles and journeys to
gained self-esteem and confidence is a
tale that can?t be told enough.
Foster?s story and his journey thus far
come with a message he?s excited to
send back down south to us. ?It?s so
funny that I moved to North Carolina,
came to New York, and then met these
people from North Carolina. They?re
going to be the first people to see that
I?m doing okay, and I want that! I want
everybody down there to pick up what
they?re doing and do what they want;
don?t stay in their little shells, don?t rot
away. This generation might be
whatever they say it is, but that doesn?t
mean that there can?t be true dreamers,
there can?t be people who aspire to be
greater, that there can still be golden
people.?
His message is verified. He?s living proof
?There?s always
going to be
somebody
prettier than
you"
that, while it?s hard work, actively
pursuing your dreams and goals
does work. After all, Benjamin
Mee?s full quote goes like this: ?You
know, sometimes all you need is 20
seconds of insane courage. Just
literally twenty seconds of just
embarrassing bravery. And I
promise you, something great will
come of it.? So, take twenty
seconds and decide to buy your
(figurative) plane ticket because we
think Dylan?s doing pretty great.
"But you
can?t let
that get to
you"
