This article is a proof of courage. It is never easy to talk about personal problems in this way.

It’s never easy, but you have to accept yourself as you are. I include myself in this sentence.

Without that, your whole life is a struggle against something you can never overcome.

Other people’s gaze can be terrifying, but deep down, it means nothing. What matters is the look in the eyes of those who matter to you and who love you.

They’ll be able to see who you really are inside. And that’s what matters in the end.

Thank you for this testimony Shannon Ashley.
