I was so self conscious by dark blotches that appeared on my body & face, caused by an allergic reaction to a medication. Especially the one on my face & one on my neck. Although they were small I kept my hair styled covering my face on that side, & was NEVER w/o makeup covering them. People who KNEW the marks embarrassed & made me feel ugly (cause Id told them) always pointed them out. Especially when Id hidden them, dressed classy, worked HARD to keep physically fit, kept my hair on point, & FINALLY felt attractive again. IMMEDIATELY my mood, confidence, & self esteem would plummet, and ALL I could see was my flaws. Over time I learned to stop looking for MY beauty through others eyes! There are people who have nothing better to do than to search for and point out everything they see flawed in others. People like that are the REAL ones with self esteem issues. You can have picture perfect features, a perfect body, & always look like you just stepped off the runway, & youll ALWAYS have critics! I said this all to say: Theres ONLY ONE YOU! TRUE beauty is reflected from INSIDE, not defined by physical features. Our flaws are there to remind us that were all.... PERFECTLY IMPERFECT! Although the dark marks havent completely faded, I no longer hide my face behind my hair, pile on makeup or internalize other peoples opinion of me. My self esteem & self confidence is established by ME! And I say I AM BEAUTIFUL!! Flaws & ALL!!
