Tomorrow I turn 20…
And before I leave my teenage years behind, I just wanted to say a big thank you. 🤎
These last seven years have been messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, and life-changing all at once.
I started this little Instagram account at 13, never imagining that one day thousands of people would be following the adventures of Alfie.
In between there was COVID, a tiny bandana business, years of being out of school, finding the confidence to go back with my therapy dog, Nellie, bullying, an abusive relationship, college, tears, laughter, and so many moments where I wondered if things would ever get better.
But they did.
Over the years, I’ve met some of the kindest, most supportive people through this community. People who believed in me, collaborated with my tiny bandana business, cheered me on, shared my work, and helped me grow into the person and creator I am today. Because of you, I’m building a life and a business that genuinely makes me excited to wake up every morning.
Looking back at these photos fills me with so much gratitude. Every collaboration, every message, every order, every comment, and every friendship has played a massive part in my journey.
I wish I could include every single creator I’ve been lucky enough to work with or interact with, but Instagram wouldn’t let me make the reel long enough! 😂
A special thank you to:

…and to everyone else who’s been part of this chapter of my life.
Thank you for helping a disabled teenage girl with a dream believe she could do something special.
To everyone who supported me, encouraged me, believed in me, or simply followed along the way… thank you. You have no idea how much you’ve helped shape the person I am today.
And to anyone who ever doubted me…
Thank you too.
You unknowingly gave me the determination to keep proving that I was capable of more.
Here’s to my twenties… and hopefully many more adventures together. 🐾🤍
