It’s a long and hard journey to get to a place where you can accept your body. Taking pride in one’s appearance is an accomplishment in itself, because just about everyone is unhappy with one thing or another pertaining to their physical features. Everyone feels insecure about their body at some point or another, but not everyone is able to overcome that. Antonia Livers broke the mold of those who couldn’t. The fact of the matter was that she had her worries as well; how she dealt with them, I don’t know. How she found her way, it escapes me; but find it she did.
When Antonia was around 14 years old—the time when most people begin feeling self-conscious for various reasons—she noticed white spots on her eyelids for the first time. It wasn’t long before doctors diagnosed vitiligo, a condition caused by the loss of pigment in the skin and growth of white patches on the skin surface; as what she had been suffering from. Over time these white patches grow bigger and spread all over other parts of your skin. When discovered this, Antonia understandably was upset … very devastated even. She spent a lot of nights crying about how here face looked that day.
