What happened to me have got nothing to do with “ BODY POSITIVITY “ it’s Farrr from it. Have had my own share of the struggle/suffering( I came from Nothing) so I work really hard to get here and I will work harder.

“Over the years I have grown a thick Skin. When trolls come for me sometimes I am thinking of my next meal or my next content

Sometimes I am struggling with how not to go completely blind due to complications from Diabetes which I had since I was 10 years old. Then some other stuff and TInnitus .(you don’t want to have that trust me ) But I understand people just wanna troll you without not thinking about what you may be going thru.

“I was su*cidal due to this ugly incident but I am not Depressed. I was just unfortunate to meet Evil and I am glad that I am healing.”
