Kimberly is open about her struggles with mental health. She wants others who have shared similar struggles to know they aren’t alone. “Mental health problems can feel very isolating,” Kimberly tells SI Swimsuit. “I know for a fact that when I am having an episode, it really feels like it’s just me that's feeling that way—like I’m either broken or unlike the people around me. So I try to be open about it because I hope someone out there might identify with it and realize they’re not alone.”

3. She’s Proud Of Herself

Kimberly tells SI Swimsuit that she doesn’t succumb to the pressure from society and others. “It feels like a lot of pressure to behave however you think you are expected to,” she says. “I like being open about the fact that I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time, how I’m figuring it out as I go, how I doubt myself and my place in the world or the world itself.”

5. She Doesn’t Have Plans

Kimberly does have goals, but she doesn’t have any specific ones in mind. “I don’t really have a bucket list,” she says to Maxsim. “There are things I want for sure, but I also don’t want to burden myself with the idea that if I don’t get them I haven’t made myself happy.”
