Be proud of you. You’ve been through a lot. You’ve done a lot. You’re body has preserved. You have made it this far. You will continue to grow. You deserve to flourish, and you will. You deserve to be in love. You deserve to be in love with yourself, and you will.
We’ve all felt it. Every single one of us. We’ve all had the urge to say “f*ck off” or “f*ck you”. We’ve all let it out at some point.
I think this picture perfectly embodies what I experienced last night, what happened when I felt the negative side effects of my new medication.
A brand new set of photographs calls for a reintroduction.
One scar, several stories. One scar, several issues. One scar, a life saved. This scar represents my life, as if I did not have it I would not be here. The internal bleeding was not noticed right away, and finally a doctor asked my dad for permission to do an exploratory surgery to find what was causing my body to shut down. Even with all of the broken bones, collapsed lungs and other traumas, they knew something else was wrong. They found it, just in time. The seat belt had cut my intestines, and the blood poisoning was beginning to shut me down. This scar and the surgeries behind it has caused me seven and a half years of grief, but it also gave me seven and a half more years on this planet.
