Everything we go through in life makes us who we are. Take every experience as a way to learn and grow. You are beautiful. You are worthy. You are loved.
On November 3rd of 2020 my life changed instantly. I was attacked by a dog, that took off my whole upper lip and parts of my nose. The last 4 years have been full of every emotion you could possibly think of. Happiness, growth, continuing to adjusts to a society that isn’t use to facial differences, and learning to love myself from the inside and out. This day is hard for me, but I’ve also learned to love it and be thankful for everything it’s taught me. Remember to Go hug someone you love today. Happy smile day.
No words can begin to explain how thankful I am for my surgeon bringing my smile back. If you were to have told me when I first got attacked that I would have looked like this in a couple years, I wouldn’t have believed you. I am amazed by his work. I’m beyond grateful. I’m so thankful.
