      I feel like I need to do more than just post a picture. In this case, the picture really does tell the story in a lot of ways, but still, there was a lot of pain and trauma that led me to this point.

      I started off depressed and angry, lost in life, knowing what I needed to do, but feeling like it wasn’t something I could do. And when I finally accepted that I could do it, years went in to it. A quick photo makes it look like a magical transformation, but there was close to 10 years between those photos, and a lot of self discovery, self exploration and pain. As well as joy, and surprises.

        Hey, I just want to say thanks for posting this. I’m just a random internet stranger, but I’m happy for you. I think Fred Rogers sums it up best, he is the epitome of kindness to me.

        It’s you I like,

        It’s not the things you wear,

        It’s not the way you do your hair

        But it’s you I like

        The way you are right now,

        The way down deep inside you

        Not the things that hide you,

        Not your toys

        They’re just beside you.

        But it’s you I like

        Every part of you.

        Your skin, your eyes, your feelings

        Whether old or new.

        I hope that you’ll remember

        Even when you’re feeling blue

        That it’s you I like,

        It’s you yourself

        It’s you.

        It’s you I like.
