On the occasion that I do put on make-up either I have to do a talkshow or am giving a motivational speech somewhere I find the compliments that I receive most flattering although I have scars , hurts and pain deep within that are hidden so we'll. Somehow the make up covers my scars. One day thou I will definitely tell all about the scar's behind my makeup. I will stand tall and say I have scars but I am hiding them. I may put on make-up but I have scars which have stories behind them. Stay strong .... Scars can turn into stars ..# Abuse is real don't be silent speak out....
