The first word that comes to mind when thinking of Livi is strength. She has been through so much in her life and seems to always rise up from it doing even better than before. You know those people who lose all their limbs and then their whole families die in a fire and somehow they find the courage to become a guest speaker to inspire others and spread positivity. Well, that would be Liv. Of course for now she still has all her limbs and we’re planning to keep it that way, but she still inspires me every day. Her bravery and her resilience are astonishing and it closely resembles the one of women who have been told their whole lives they are not good enough. We have stretch marks and moles and dimples and on and on. We are women and we are beautiful. So to you Livi I dedicate all the stretch marks on my body (and there is no lack thereof) and will think of your strength when I look in the mirror.
