Sophie Mayanne Interview Behind The Scars

“The scars relate to different stages in my life, my childhood and womanhood. Animals seem to figure in a few, getting too close to a dog whilst it was feeding led to a small scar on my face, luckily it folds into the creases of my smile (Occurred age 8). I’m now 41, I battled with ill health for many years, these led to scars around my belly button. Two hernia ops, and my belly button is now as flat as a pancake. Having a Laparoscopy for endometriosis should have left no scars, but an over zealous horse ran into me creating a bug shaped scar. The slow healing I now know is due to Lupus, my connective tissue is constantly inflamed, causing sore scar tissue.” – Tineke
