It’s been a long, wild journey—and definitely not an easy one—but I can finally say I’ve made it through this incredibly tough chapter. I’ve learned a lot along the way, especially the importance of valuing who you are as a person, not just your appearance or physical image—because that fades with time.
This whole experience was something I couldn’t control, and at times I wanted to give up. But I pushed through. I want to give a huge thank you to my amazing mom for being my rock through it all, and to the incredible nurses and doctors who helped me—even when I wasn’t the easiest to deal with, lol. And of course, thank you to all my friends and family. Your love and support meant everything. You all matter. ❤️
