Hi, I am Aliana! Born with a birthmark on the right side of my face…and PROUD of it! This is my story and cosplays.
As a coping mechanism, I used to play dress up in order to take my mind off creeping insecurities (and there’s plenty). In time I gained enough self confidence as well as friends who supported me.
When I started cosplaying in 2022, I still feel some anxiety but this time it feels…different. I feel stronger, more confident and proud of who I am and what I’m capable of.
I always remind myself that it’s not other people who will choose your worth, it’s only you. You make you happy.
