MY DNTM4 JOURNEY

One day last month, I came across Dimi's blog announcing that DNTM 4 auditions were open. I wasn't really planning to apply this season, I only added Dimi on discord because I thought I might audition in a future season. Then Dimi messaged me, "Hi! You added me for DNTM audition?" Being the people pleaser that I am, I just replied, "Yes." LOL Since joining wasn't part of my plan at all, I entered the competition with zero expectations. I just wanted to experience it because everyone said it was fun. But everything changed after I won Best Photo in Week 2. That was the moment I realized, "Maybe I really have what it takes." From then on, I decided to give this competition everything I had.I'm really glad I entered this competition with the right mindset. DNTM is no joke, it can be mentally exhausting but it has also been the most fun I've ever had here in Kovaze. I experienced both the highs and the lows throughout my journey. Even though I never dropped out of the Top 3 in the overall rankings, there were moments when I felt like I was slowly losing my momentum. I could see the models behind me getting closer and closer, and there were times when I doubted whether I could hold onto my spot.But then came the weeks that reminded me why I was there. I found my confidence again, regained my momentum, and carried that belief all the way to the finale. That's why I'm incredibly proud of what I achieved. Even though I finished as the runner-up, it genuinely feels like a victory to me. I never imagined I would make it this far when I first joined the competition. Looking back at everything I've overcome, every challenge I've faced, and everything I've accomplished, I couldn't be more grateful for this journey. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been part of my journey. LeQuishaQ and Marilise — My sisters throughout this competition. We called our little group The Bratz, and they were the people I leaned on the most during every photoshoot. We shared our stress, struggles, ideas, and excitement every single week.We made a promise to each other that one of us would win this season, and I'm so happy that LQ made that promise come true. Marquis, Fancy, and CupidStunt — You three were one of the reasons I stepped up my game during the second half of the competition. Watching how much dedication, creativity, and effort each of you put into every photoshoot pushed me to do the same. I knew that if I started playing it safe, any one of you could take my spot, and that motivated me to keep raising my own standards every single week. I'm incredibly proud of everything the three of you accomplished this season. Thank you for pushing me to become a better competitor. I can't wait to see all of you in an All Stars season. Vanili- We became close during the week you were eliminated, which also happened to be the week I struggled the most in this competition. It's sad that our journey together was cut short, because I really enjoyed getting to know you.I'm grateful that our friendship didn't end with the competition and that we still keep in touch even outside the game. You're genuinely one of the kindest and sweetest people I've ever met here in Kovaze. Antog SpaceLab Zee_ tjamal9106 MissMiranda Manon Amandasings04 Fireflyyy NotNicky333 To all of my fellow DNTM Season 4 models, We absolutely slayed this season! This journey became so memorable because every single one of you brought something unique to the competition. Whether it was through your incredible photoshoots, your personalities, or even the drama that kept things entertaining, each of you helped make this season unforgettable. KaliMinaj Jane torimarie To the judges, Thank you for all the kind words and positive comments you gave me throughout this competition. They truly meant a lot and gave me the confidence to keep pushing myself every week. At the same time, I'm equally grateful for your constructive criticism, because it challenged me to improve, grow, and become a stronger competitor with every photoshoot. And to Dimitra , Thank you for being not only an incredible host but also an amazing person. You're one of the kindest and most humble people I've had the pleasure of meeting, and I truly admire the passion and effort you put into making DNTM the best group game in Kovaze. Thank you for believing in my capabilities throughout this journey. I should probably wrap this blog up before it gets any longer. This is GuiltyAsSin, your #DNTM4 Runner-Up. Until the next chapter.....
