I hit 10k over on instagram and to celebrate I wanted to share 10 of my most vulnerable, raw, and honest photos along with 10 things I’ve learned on my journey🫶🏻 thank you for being here! #psoriasis #psoriaticarthritis

2025/4/29 Edited to

Reaching a milestone on Instagram, like hitting 10k followers, can be an incredibly enriching experience. It’s not just about the numbers, but the journey and the lessons learned along the way. Through sharing personal experiences related to skin conditions, such as psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, many users find the courage to embrace their uniqueness. Vulnerability fosters connections. By sharing our stories and struggles, we open the door to conversations about acceptance and support. Many insights shared, like "Your skin does not define you" and "It’s okay to rest", emphasize the importance of self-love and care. It’s vital to remind ourselves that our health challenges do not diminish our worth or capabilities as friends, partners, or parents. Additionally, education plays a pivotal role in transforming societal perceptions about illnesses. Every moment spent educating others can shatter stigma and encourage inclusivity. The shared experiences not only empower those dealing with similar issues but also draw attention to the broader community’s strength. Never be ashamed of your skin or scars; they tell a story of resilience and perseverance. Celebrate each step of your journey, and remember, you are not alone!

I love the confidence you have! I have psoriasis and it took a long time (still working on it) to feel comfortable showing the skin that has it.
