<h2 id="the-explosion-that-changed-everything">The explosion that changed everything</h2>
<p>In summer 2017, I was booked for a photo shoot. It was early in the morning, the shoot took place in the forest and I was already a few minutes late because I had overslept. The shoot was already in full swing when I arrived at the meeting point. I had already been photographed a few times and now had the opportunity to watch the other models being photographed.</p>
<p>For some photos we used torches, which looked really cool. But this situation quickly changed. When we already had some photos in the can, I heard a soft noise behind me, but I didn't think anything more of it and watched the others anxiously. Suddenly I heard a small "explosion" and noticed that a jet of flame had hit my legs.</p>
<p>I was wearing very tight trousers that had caught fire directly and I saw my legs start to burn. Out of reflex, I threw myself straight onto the floor and everyone involved in the shoot came running to me. I opened my still burning trousers and the others ripped them off my legs. I can't remember that much because I was in a state of shock. But what I can remember clearly is the pain and how much my whole body was shaking.</p><p>My colleagues had then called the ambulance and everything felt extremely long. Minutes turned into hours until the ambulance finally arrived. With strong medication I was flown to the University Hospital Zurich, as they specialise in<br>burn scars there. They had to scrape off my blisters in an operation, as they had filled up with a lot of water in the meantime. I was told that I would have to stay in hospital for a long time, but I was discharged after only a few days and much too soon. I could neither stand nor walk. I could not bend my legs as they were thickly bound. My boyfriend was always by my side during this time.</p>

<p>At home with my parents, we then had to see for ourselves how to proceed now. We organised a Spitex who changed my dressings every day. She also had no experience with burn scars. I was at home for about three months and could hardly walk. When I got up, I was in extreme pain. At times it felt like my legs were going to explode. If I remember correctly, I never saw what my legs looked like after the accident in the first month. Neither the blisters nor the open wounds. When I had a follow-up appointment at the hospital in Zurich, they removed the bandages as well as the nets that had covered the wounds. I realised for the first time that my legs would look different forever and that I would walk around with burn scars for the rest of my life. All I did at this point was cry. My legs had always been a favourite part of my body and I now had to come to terms with this new image of me.</p>

Despite some tears I have shed during this time, I have never been ashamed of my scars. For me, they are something special. They make me and my skin individual. Skindividual, that is. They tell a story that always reminds me of how strong my body, my mind and my soul are. I was able to grow a lot from them and today I would even say that I became more self-confident. I wear my scars with pride. They make me unique and strong. I never felt that I had to hide them or that I could no longer wear a short dress. I am very proud of what my body has done during this time. The healing process of my body impresses me to this day.</p><blockquote><p>With my story I want to encourage other people.
