During one of the hardest stages of living with an eating disorder, I tried to find ways to cope with my emotions other than turning to food. I have always loved to draw, but I just stopped in middle school; It must have been one of those "If I want to be popular I need to conform to the crowd" moments.
As I began to draw, I surprisingly got better, and better. I put my emotions into my work, which helped me find purpose in what I was doing. In all honesty, the only thing that can completely calm me down and distract me from the world is drawing.
I think it is so amazing that I was able to harvest a talent during one of the most trying times of my life. I like to think of it as a tender mercy given to me by my Father in Heaven.
From something terrible came something incredibly wonderful...I guess that's life. The good and the bad usually come hand-in-hand.

You really have a talent for art! I have seen a few things you have drawn. I bet you could really use that in your life to contribute to society and also as a self therapy. You are such a beautiful girl! I pray for you with this trial! I know you can overcome it and understand who you truly are. We all love you!!!
