As hard as it may be for anyone to drop the cover and reveal their scars, that’s exactly what Elisa did. …. against every instinct, she unveiled her secret…

She captioned the photo of her abdomen exposed post the attack, with the following:

“As women we tend to be very hard on ourselves. Months ago, I escaped from a home invasion and in the process I was left with intense scaring on my stomach. Until now I’ve been so afraid to show these scars, and incredibly insecure about the way I look. But I now realize these scars are a part of my journey, and tell the story of who I am. I love my body, and I am proud to be in the place I am today. #selfhealing”

Kudos to Elisa for realizing her scars are her story, her reality, and she could never truly be her authentic self if she continued to hide them.
