## Caption

The doctors had wanted to do all kinds of things to me since I was a baby. 

Cut my finger off, split my bone, put metal rods in for prosthetics. 

My parents said no to everything - because it wasn’t my choice and it wasn’t my voice. 

The moment I brought forth the solution about my own body, they were in. 

I woke up after the amputation extremely hungry. The phantom limb was the craziest thing - I could still feel the point of my arm there, but it wasn’t there. 

Zero regrets. 

I was in so much pain, so insecure, so unconfident, that I knew this was the only solution. I had a compelling vision - and I’d do whatever it took. 

That’s what a compelling vision does. 
It gives you clarity on the move.
