The truth is there is no such thing as \u2018perfection\u2019, but I have still lived with the shame of feeling different, exacerbated by the expectations that came with beginning my career at a young age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henley said that now she\u2019s ready to share her experience and stop hiding. The actress continued, writing, \u201cBut my scars are not something to be ashamed of. They are a map of the pain my body has endured, and most importantly a reminder of my survival.
