Just let it be... (Yes, I do talk out loud to myself)."

Sharing a series of pictures from her photo shoot, Yami wrote at length about her skin condition called Keratosis-Pilaris. She captioned the images, “For those who haven't heard about this, it’s a skin condition wherein you get tiny bumps on the skin. I promise they aren’t as bad as your mind and your neighbor aunty makes it out to be I developed this skin condition during my teenage years, and there is still no cure for it. I've dealt with it for many years now and today finally, I decided to let go of all my fears and insecurities and found the courage to love and accept my ‘flaws’ wholeheartedly. I also found the courage to share my truth with you.
