London, Mar 12 (PTI) Cara Delevingne says she was never "genuinely happy" as a model and constantly sought validation from other people.
The 23-year-old beauty struggled to break into the industry because of her relatively short 5'8" stature, and after finally establishing her career, realised she was in constant need of validation and "lost sight" of herself prompting her to reassess her life choices, reported Female First.
"I found myself surrendering to the industry's approval process. I felt like I needed validation from everyone. As a result, I lost sight of myself and what it meant to be happy, what it meant to be successful. I think it all stemmed from a deep-down feeling of wanting people to like me and love me.
"Over time, I came to realise that work and getting others' approval isn't the most important thing. Yes, your career is very important--but it's not the most important. Of course, I was proud of my accomplishments, but I wasn't genuinely happy," she said.
