Bella began to open up to the media about her condition. She wrote, 'Life isn’t always what it looks like on the outside… the hardest part of this journey is to be judged by the way you look instead of the way you feel (Life is not always as it appears from the outside… the hardest part of this journey is being judged by outward appearance, not by what you truly feel)'.
