When I was born I was diagnosed with cystic hygroma. The cyst had covered the entire left side of my face. For the first few years of my life I stayed at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I had to have many procedures done to have the cyst removed. Sadly I was left blind in one eye and deaf in one ear. I also have no control over the left side of my mouth. But I dont let any of these things stop me! It’s taken me 30 to get this mindset though. I wasted to many years not liking myself and feeling upset over having cystic hygroma. But I refuse to feel that way anymore, so I decided to start vlogging. Its something I always wanted to do but I was to scared to do it because of the way that I looked.I’m glad that vlogging, the #blackoutday and the Tumblr community have helped me to come out of my shell. http://youtu.be/U7EM5_GCFfk #NoShame
