NAME ONE THING YOU LOVE ABOUT BOTH YOUR BODY AND YOUR PERSONALITY


Body
I love my eyes. I love the ‘sunflower’ effect around the centre, I love that they’re green and rare and that they seem to always reveal how I’m feeling based on the shade of green they reflect. I love that in a sea of brown and blue eyes, I have something unique. I love how through them I see the beauty of the world, that I’m blessed to have them work and have them look awesome, too.

Personality
I struggled more with this one. Not because I don’t love anything about it, but because I couldn’t decide what was most worthy of a mention. There are so many aspects of me that I love, that make up who I am. But when push came to shove; I chose my resilience.
I have been through so many things that have tested me as a person: experienced heartache, abuse, trauma, metal health issues, and yet I’m still standing. I’m currently 9 months without a self-harm incident, and it’s been over a year since my last psychiatric hospital admission. I never gave up, even when I was desperate. I fought tooth and nail to overcome my demons and it’s a fight I face each day to keep control and to remind myself that I can do this; that I matter. There are still unhealthy coping mechanisms I need to overcome, there’s still many battles ahead of me. It’s a fight to the death some days but I’m a survivor, and I wouldn’t bet against me.
