A Girl Called Ali
Name: Ali Age: 29 Bisexual and proud, Peaceful Caliofornian, Proud Gryffindor Everyone has a story, here is mine. I was born to a loving middle-class family in a lovely neighborhood, with a rare craniofacial disorder called Apert’s syndrome, which fuses the bones in the hands, skull, arms, and feet. When I was little, I thought I was adopted because I looked different from my family, I felt different, but in reality, I have my mother and grandmother's facial features, especially the eyes, and my dad's tallness. In public and in school for most of my childhood, I was often stared at or isolated because people didn't understand why I looked the way I did, they thought I was an alien, a freak, a monster, but I still had incredible friends and an amazing, supportive family who were there through all of the doctor's appointments and meetings, clinics, and over 25 surgeries that made it easier for me to live a healthy, happy life.

I am proud of the scars I have on my body from the surgeries, even the scars I carved into my body myself beginning my senior year of high school when I started showing signs of depression and anxiety. I am not ashamed of the dark path I took because I was able to get back into the light with the help of my two therapists in high school and college, Bobbi and Julia, even though Julia was the one who properly diagnosed me with anxiety and depression, referred me to a psychiatrist who put me on medication for depression, anxiety, and later PTSD, and sent me to the Behavioral Health Center on the Kaiser Permanente campus. It was very traumatizing staying in the psychiatric ward, especially since I was only used to the ICU and the psychiatric ward was nothing like...

When you finally realize that someone’s behavior has more to do with their internal struggle than it ever did with you, you learn grace. You also naturally learn detachment as well.

a gentle fact about this world is that people will want to help you. a cruel fact about it is that you do have to put on your big boy pants and open their contact on your phone and say some human words to ask them for it

The holidays can be such a rough and difficult time, especially since it often means putting on a mask and pretending to be someone you are not when you are around family members. Often it's hard to be yourself around those people, trust me, I get it. This is your reminder that you never ever have to put on a mask in any scenario. You are such a good, valuable person - you have every right to show up exactly as you are, my love. Stay strong, safe and happy this season and have a merry Christmas everyone. I love you.
