#Alhamdullahi #TheGiftOfHealing. #BurnsSurvivor. I woke up today reflecting on the journey I have been on so far. I didn’t choose it, but I have learnt to embrace it. I documented many parts of my treatment in the last year and 10months. (a lot of pics are too gory to post). It hasn’t been easy but I am happy to be alive. #StillHealing #MelaninePopping #LiveLaughLove
