I am here for Friends

About Me

Yeah, so...I am Leyla...Leyla is a "freelancer" in the wonderful world of fashion design. Basically this means I have no job stability. Oh, and this also means I get to work for various companies all of which have their positive and negative attributes. :) ... I am also working with some talented peers and have two independent projects under construction, both of which i am very excited about! Besides that, I've been described as unique. I feel awkward in most situations...mainly because i am. I'm very clumsy. I can be both carefree and paranoid. I can be a little excessive, finding a happy medium can be hard for me. I love kitsch. I think "ugly" things are beautiful, and so would you if it was the right time and place. I can be way too nice at times, but i will always stand up for what i believe in. I always feel as though i should be doing more...annnd hopefully i will..."Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions." -Albert Einstein a
