Laura Lentz Instagram – as i scrolled through so many of @ciuciu.sebastian pieces my eye was drawn to this one, & when i asked his wife @alina.ciuciu about it she told me the name was “BEAUTIFUL SCARS”…i started to cry 😭 it may not mean much to you but this past year was a doozy for our family. i have dealt with so much personally, i have never experienced anxiety or PTSD until this year! i have struggled with a mild depression for many years, but this year it got to be so bad that there were days i didn’t want to get out of bed… although i wouldn’t wish my journey on my worst enemy (i apparently have a few), i would not change my story!! i know as i continue on my journey of healing, learning to put myself first, focus on my family and grow in my marriage, i can use my story so far to help someone else! don’t get me wrong it’s not easy, everyday i feel the trauma, the thoughts and memories. and geez am i grateful for my therapists! We all have scars from many of life’s experiences, and i am choosing to see mine as “BEAUTIFUL”… this artwork is my reminder – the bumps, rips and rough parts! thank you Sebastian and Alina for being a part of my story ❤️ and how cool is their last name?? Ciu Ciu (pronounced Choo Choo)
