HS has proven to be the ultimate rollercoaster in my life.
What could I do?
After the session was complete, she asked me if I had ever thought about modeling.
My skin condition made me feel ugly and disgusting even on the days I looked my best.
Luckily for me, this photographer did not see me the same way.
While I was obviously very reluctant, she wouldnt take no for an answer.
The day of the photoshoot, I was so nervous.
Instead, the day went in quite the opposite direction.
Over the next year, I had at least one or two photoshoots every week.
I urged myself to stop being embarrassed of my disease and, instead, to start talking about it.
Now, this is far from an easy feat.
Today, Ive broken down into tears three times already, just begging God for a small break.
I will be okay.
For those of you who are struggling too stay strong, my friends.
Remember that your skin does not define your beauty and keep fighting for what you love.
We will get through this.
