Yesterday was the first time I've posted a picture of my face with no makeup since my ovaries started getting really bad and the first time I've EVER posted a picture of my thighs and you guys made me so brave with your own courage and by being so sweet to me that I'm doing this too. My life has been absolutely decimated by both my IC and very cystic ovaries. There are days I'm in so much pain I can only lie in bed and cry. I've learned to hate what's inside me, but now I'm trying to learn to love it instead. And if I end up needing surgery for my ovaries, I'll learn to love the scars too. (Going to the doctor to talk about how high that risk is next week.) If you have the same things, I hope this reminds you that inside of you is as beautiful as the things you're showing us on the outside.
