Sensitive gangsters rise up. Amaya "Papaya" Espinal initially joined season seven of "Love Island USA" looking for love with another islander. But in the end, it was the love she had for herself that truly won us over.

We could all learn a lot from her when it comes to living life unapologetically — and we decided to take notes.
