My story with EB started 22 years ago, on 5 September 1996. It’s been a long journey since then. Like every little human being I had ups and downs. But never actually let myself break down, which I guess was what made me different to others. Life does not always go as planned and you just have to live with what you already have- so I basically had to live with this thing called “EB” for the rest of my life! But as I grew up I came to understand that everyone is unique and this is what makes them special. So instead of complaining about how difficult my life was, I embraced this difference. I used to care what others said, occasionally I would get comments from ignorant people who think they care about you but in reality they don’t! I learnt as a child to transform all negatives to positives, because living a negative life doesn’t get you anywhere in life! My parents always said love yourself for who you are and embrace what makes you different, & most importantly don’t let others bring you down! And that’s exactly what I did!
As for me now, I’m studying to become a Psychologist and running my own makeup page on social media. Analysing human behaviour and understanding the human brain has always fascinated me. I have always asked myself “Why do people behave this way?” “What influences them to behave like this?”. That’s when I decided to become a psychologist, and I aim to fight against the stigma there is towards mental illness! I’ve suffered from anxiety and depression, however I had such an amazing support around me and unfortunately not everyone is lucky enough like me to have that! My dream is to become a psychologist and to be known for my work in fighting against this stigma. Because in this life you only get one chance to do things, and this is my chance to show to the world that everyone can make a difference despite their circumstance, race or religion.
