I'm Lana, and I've got a story to tell you. Or at least, that's what I like to think about when I'm soaking in the black water of my bathtub late at night. As I sit here with my eyes closed, surrounded by the peaceful darkness, I let my mind wander back to my childhood. Growing up was never easy for me; there were always whispers and snickers, because you see...I have this certain condition that makes my body a little more unique than most people's.

People used to call me names behind my back - 'freak' or 'monster.' They'd stare at me with an unwavering curiosity, like I was some sort of sideshow attraction. But it wasn't until high school that things got really rough. One of the popular girls in our class started spreading rumors about me...about how 'different' I looked down there. It's funny how quickly they turned on me once they thought they had a secret weapon to use against me.

But you know what? I've learned to love my body, just as it is. And I'm not ashamed of it anymore - in fact, I find beauty in the uniqueness that makes me who I am today. When I'm lying here in this bathtub with the water at its blackest and darkest, I feel like I'm exactly where I'm meant to be: surrounded by shadows, yet full of light. And that's a feeling no one can ever take away from me
