kirmy, you are such an inspiration. i know this sounds cliched, but ever since i started researching the DS, I'd come across your posts ..and reading them was comforting. it made me feel like i could do this too..it's hard to explain. there was strength, honesty and vulnerability in your descriptions of your struggles and triumphs...you would make an excellent writer. i have a few of your hilarious and uplifting posts bookmarked, so i can read them when i worry (however irrationally) that I may not be able to stay true to my first love which is travel..or do X or Y,..enjoy life or what have you after the DS. post-Ds has its own set of complications and difficulties, but you have always struck me as someone who has all this joie de vivre ...that has only been enhanced by this life changing surgery. it makes me feel less nervous going ahead with the DS. thanks for the heart, the rapier wit, the laughs and for sharing your journey so openly and open heartedly. i am just pre-op, and we've never talked one on one. i just wanted to let you know on your half a decade surgiversary..that you've made a difference in my little world...even from a distance.
i want to congratulate you on your success and wish you continued success. here's to a 10 year update and counting.
p.s. you are gorgeous, and i love the haircut. i haven't had a pixie cut in years. though, i did get awesome red highlights last year. now, they've sort of faded..and my hair is a tricoloured mess- black (my natural colour), the faded light brown and a few streaks of red.
i am planning on getting a cute side shave post-DS: http://hairstyle15.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/short-female-haircuts-image.jpg - something like that hehe. i am excited.
That is hugely flattering. The thing is I'm a mammoth cluster fuck. I try to do better but I am essentially a sweary Bridget Jones. To know I've positively influenced anyone is phenomenal to me.
Thank you. Good luck and be fearless on your journey.
