Looking back

Hello everyone, I recently got back from my summer holiday in Cuba, and whilst I was there I took a few photos in the resort and around Cayo Coco, I wanted to document my vacation and share it on here for you guys.

Hello everyone, As I've previously stated in older posts, I've grown to love my scar, but it took me awhile to become confident with it. Scoliosis and self confidence do not come hand in hand, and it's a hard process to start to feel confident with the scar on your back.

When it came to sun exposure on my scar, I thought I would be very cautious and to be honest for the first couple of days I didn't really stay out in the sun for too long as I didn't want to burn my scar, however I found as the ho
