It was my 21st birthday yesterday and my party on the 30th and it was my first family public event since my operation. Because I looked different I didn't want all my family in one place to see me and feel pity or sympathy because I find it makes me uncomfortable, but regardless I did it, took pictures and the thing I feared... Was nothing because I felt so accepted that I'm glad I did it now rather then later.
I know when a person stares at me too long in the street or someone gives me a comment I know its going to get to me for days... But right now I'm all good and that's okay x
