Today, I was looking at some scenes in Gia. The film is a biography of a supermodel named Gia Carangi, who is played by Angelina Jolie. Gia started modeling at the age 17 and then she went really big until drugs such as heroin took over her. Which is the film is focusing on and also, the film focuses on her sexually orientation, she happened to be a lesbian. I haven’t seen the film but having to see some scenes from the movie, I had to look at the real Gia. 
When I found her, I thought to myself, this girl is very beautiful. I mean naturally beautiful and I can’t really image her doing these things. It prompted her to get AIDS and eventually, die from it. It’s sad to see her picture of her looking innocent yet, her action through out her fashion was not. She cried for drugs, she was aggressive and violent for not having it, she had track mark (noticeable injection mark) on her skin, being lazy and all this negative actions made the people, who knew her in person, didn’t bother visit her in the hospital and her funeral. Until, a photographer, Francesco Scavullo, heard the news a week later and made a mass. Like I have said, it’s really sad to hear this girl or anybody going through like this.
Also today, I simply found out that one of my friend from high school is going to Tokyo to do her modeling. I was so happy the fact that she is actually modeling and jealousy the fact that she is going to Tokyo. I heard she is going to live alone with other model and that she might stay there for a while. However, after learning about Gia Carangi’s article (I read it before), I hope that my friend might not follow the same path as her. I know my old friend won’t but I fear it can happened to anyone. Doesn’t matter if you’re too good or been in a traditional family, addiction can honestly kill you and your life. Everybody knows that yet, I still think nobody knows it still. I want to enjoy the things I like to do, not be addicted to it and avoid things that cause addiction. Addiction is not fun and it is something that will make you always depend on it. Be Independent! Doesn’t matter if you had to prove yourself as a man or you wanted to prove someone that you can handle it, you may have a negative consequence that when you’re sober or get older, you will regret it. Or may not even get the chance to regret it.
Deep!!
