One day I decided to get even more personal than just a friendship with Nicole. We had known each other since for nearly four years and I knew she had a long life story.
She told me about her struggles with self harm, a broken home, etc. and about the death of three friends. She told me she had struggled with self harm for several years and had been very uncomfortable with her body for as long as she could remember.
At the end of a long conversation she directed me to a video she posted on YouTube entitled "My Story -Nicole Leigh". She told me that the video could explain far more than what she could and that she would appreciate it if I watched it.

She also told me she found her strength through God. And that without him she wouldn't have even thought of recovering, let alone would it be possible. Its only through him that her STRUGGLE turned into STRENGTH.
