Lea Baghamian's post on Goodwall - #MinoritiesMatter I've always thought that having acne would make me ugly, or so I thought. It's been 3 years, and, since then, it gave me the courage to empower girls who had the same skin condition. I've struggled with my appearance since I was a teenager, and, I've also struggled with borderline and psychotic personality disorder since I was 8 years old. But, it all changed when I turned 14. I've written my first ever novel, which was 500 pages long, and, from that day on, I always wrote novels, which I didn't yet publish. I dreamed of being a YouTuber, and, I took cinematography lessons, and directed my first ever short movie, which was shown in 5 countries.
