At least I still have my soul.

This journey has been nothing close to what I imagined. When I was diagnosed, I knew I wanted to capture this chapter in a way that felt true to me — raw, peaceful, and honest. While this is never something anyone wants to experience, I’m grateful to still be here to tell the story. To advocate for self-awareness, early detection, and strength in the face of the unimaginable.

Breast cancer at 19 was never supposed to be part of my story, yet somehow it became one of the chapters that shaped me most.

For this creative project centered around awareness and body positivity, the tape symbolizes binding the wounds — both physical and emotional. The flowers represent regrowth, healing, and becoming again after feeling broken. The emotions are real and unfiltered. No makeup. No hiding. Just authentic, pure beauty in its most vulnerable form.

$“I do not and will not fear tomorrow, because I feel as though today has been enough.” On April 26th my life was forever changed. I was hit head on by a drunk driver. I very briefly remember the accident. I remember waking up to people taking my vitals and asking me questions like my name and etc. I remember them cutting off the top of my car and my drivers side door just to get me out. I was then flown to the hospital. From there I was in and out of consciousness. I had emergency surgery on my leg. I had two fractures in my femur and tendons were messed up in my knee. Along with several cracked ribs. I was in the ICU for 2 days. I then had surgery on my pelvis, where I had 3 fractures.I spent 10 days at the hospital and then I was transferred to rehab. This will be a long journey. End drinking and driving. Your life and others are worth more. by @aly.wella$
