Don't deny yourself the feeling of

feeling beautiful Bailey, you are

absolutely gorgeous and that is

something I always pray that you can truly realise and embrace for yourself. You are nontraditional, and that's part of your beauty. You represent the under-represented. Scars are definitely beautiful. They tell a tale of life fought hard for, and won. You are an inspiration, and deserve a modeling career more than any perfect bodied "Barbie" that currently rules the modeling scene. You are far more human, relatable, and (at least in my eyes) beautiful than they are. Some of

the traits you embody that make you beautiful outside of your outer beauty (once again trust me you are physically beautiful too), are compassion, kindness, wit, vulnerability, sassiness, loyalty, and the duality of positivity and a palpable inner doubt which is what makes us human. You embody

the character we should all strive for, and you should be welcomed as a model, and be allowed to show off

your scars (life tales). Zebedee, We

Speak Model Agency, and even Dove all have disabled models with the first two being fully dedicated to just disabled models. Disabled models are taking a larger and larger share of the market as people are realising that being human and different is far more beautiful than some unhealthy calorie restricting Barbie model. You should look into those companies and show off those scars modeling. Beauty starts from within, and that means attitude, wit, charm, confidence,

positivity, and comfort in what your

body is and can do reigns supreme

You embody all the necessary traits

to be a very high draw model, and I

think you should go for it. I also believe (maybe not your thing personally, but that's your choice to make) that there should also be infinitely more disabled nude models. Nude modeling being

inclusive helps everyone realise the

full range of normal, and that disabled bodies are as desirable (and beautiful) as abled bodies. I will definitely share this, and I hope you check out some of the modeling agencies I mentioned. You deserve to be comfortable and happy with your body, and deserve to add to

the growing group of disabled models so that we all get more recognition.

I was looking at the photo you have at the top of this blog?, stack?, post?, and I noticed a couple of things (one that I missed on IG, and one I just noticed) both of which are unique and should be displayed proudly. The one I missed on IG is the feeding tubes. I had asked you on there if they had you on tube feeds before the gastric pacemaker, and now I notice that you have separate g and j buttons. Can't believe I missed that earlier. I'm curious as to why you decided to separate the two rather than have a gj? The thing I just noticed from the photo is it looks like in the photo that you have an unaccessed port. I figured you might as those with CF usually have to run long courses of antibiotics frequently, and sometimes TPN. Curious as to whether I'm right about the port. Both of these things, and any other scars or devices you should show and model proudly.
