Tell me your story

Tell me your experience with your scars start with how long you’ve had the scars and how your life has changed throughout your experience good or bad

Who I am…
I became a survivor at 16 and am 24 now 73% of my body 3rd degree 12 months Chicago hospitals 50+ surgeries I think. Lots of psychological troubles in the beginning, insecurities, self hatred, anxiety, addictions, luckily I had depressed friends around me so I had family, made a decision decision when I was 18 I wouldn’t have a normal job to be a normal person and just have scars so I started online business to stay away from the world then I started learning to speak better and I had no guidance so I turned to sales and didn’t do college, then I started a door to door sales company and started hiring recruiting and training new sales people. I think I became so lost in my mind from my appearance I had a choice either end my life or find a way to control my thoughts so I became super conscious of my thoughts my friends call it perspicacious. Then I began becoming consistent on my thoughts and actions and became a leader for my family and my company. I now can say I rarely feel self conscious in negative ways. The only thing is I know I am limited in my hand range and have a feeling my scars are getting tighter the older I become so I’m in a rush to enjoy my life it’s a haunting feeling but other than that I manage because I found a purpose and reason to.
