Oh boy, Oh boy, where do I start lol: Throughout my teenage years (started at 15/16 and i am currently) I had a form of mild - moderate acne. First it started as cystic under my skin. Now it is basically a form of mild acne now (So it seems like it is hormonal and will probably be gone sooner or later). I had always struggled to find happiness. I had really high self esteem and confidence when this problem had occurred but later on it was basically so low to the point it was barely "see it". I had always found it was easy to talk to a girls or people in general without being shy and being comfortable and the "life of the party". Later on I had avoided them. It was so hard being a decently good looking boy and all of a sudden having spots all over my face and scars (Ouch!) I felt so bad I had felt guilty and had struggled with my confidence for about 3-4 years and had been obsessed with the mirror like it was like my other half and needed it!
BUT THEN I REALIZE SOMETHING: It happened earlier on the year and staring at the mirror intensely said to myself "This is so dumb!" I am stressing and letting something control my life skin deep that I absolutely no control over it. Listen! we are beautiful people we have been through ups and downs throughout our lives towards this skin problem! We should take pride in ourselves and accept ourselves in a positive way. Sure we may not have the most flawless or perfect skin but I am ME and YOU are YOU we should no let it get us down we should walk with our heads up and face everyday and unite and try to make our days count positively. Sure it took a lot of years of happiness and maybe even robbed me of my teenage years of going out and stuff without thinking about our skins. Nothing is too late! Our scar(s) should be a positive remainder that we had survived something that we would never wish on our worst enemies. Every scar has a story to tell whether it is emotional or physically we should use it as a remainder that we had the courage to continue our lives and try to make the best out of it no matter what and learn from it!
Quotes that help me be happy with myself is "Everybodys at war with different things¦Im at war with my own heart sometimes", "The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams"., and "For every dark night, there's a brighter day."
Overall: We should take pride of ourselves and continue our daily lives and reach for our dreams before its too late! And not let a skin problem ruin your days and rob us of our happiness!
Hope many of you can relate!
Keep your head up and smile!
Hope I made your day by smiling cause it would make my day too lol
