SnapShot

A little snap shot of my life.

After experiencing increadile stress and trauma I turned to self-harming.

Currently I am 3 years and 7 months later give or take free/recovered from self-harming.

During this amazing recovery I was given the opportunity to be sponsored free of charge to remove my scars! July is my last surgery! I have gone through 4 surgeries and July I'll be doing my 5th and final surgery! I'm hoping to celebrate about my challenges and wins with some friends!

I'm blessed to have being put in a crappy life and crappy truama and mental health. Because without these life events I wouldnt be a stronger me, a happier me and a me that is me and will help and support peole in the near future.

Look forward to seeing more posts from you 🙂

All the best,
