I dunno, sometimes I'm flipping through my phone and I find a photo of me I totally forgot existed and it just blows. my. mind. Who was that? I barely remember her! But, I never, ever want to forget her, either, so I make a before/after photo to rem

Three weeks ago I was waking up in recovery. As y'all know, I also moved house five days after, so it's been a wild ride to say the least.
