Smile.

Hi, I’m Sumer and I have a beautiful boyfriend.

I love yellow because it represents happiness and I adore giraffes because they keep their feet on the ground while their head’s in the clouds. I love my friends, they save me from myself, and I want to be a physical therapist because I love helping people.

I try so hard to stay positive even when I’m going through the worst. I have an AVM and my life’s been at risk since birth, doctors have been my best friends since September 23, 2010. An AVM is something wrong with your brain that you’re born with and, if you’re incredibly unlucky like myself, it bleeds and there’s a huge chance it will kill you. My brain has bled twice and both times my family and friends were told I was never going to wake up, but I did, and that’s why I smile.
