This art is dedicated to a close friend of mine. She is now 26 and has been treated for a thyroid tumor for about 8 years She comes from a deviant family, where her father is an alcoholic, abusive to the whole family

She was always embarrassed about her thinness because of her thyroid hormone problems. Now she's also embarrassed about the scars on her neck and throat from her tumor surgery

She paints over her dissected eyebrow, which I find to be her main highlight

She works as a designer and supports herself and helps her parents a lot

Recently she was on edge and wanted to kill herself when she was dumped by the guy she had been with for over 10 years

But she found the strength to live. She realized that the challenges and turns of the road are nothing compared to the value of life

She found the strength to smile To keep loving herself and people To be such a beautiful and desirable girl An interesting and intelligent person

She is my admiration

She is my inspiration
