For the last 3 or 4 years, I’ve struggled deeply with my skin. Acne fucking sucks. There’s nothing else to it. In the past it’s caused me social silence, lack of self-worth, fear of what others think, and poor body-image thoughts as a whole. Acne hurts both physically and emotionally, and anyone who struggles or has struggled in the same way knows this.

Why am I admitting to this struggle publicly? Because for the past few months I’ve finally realized something. Whether it’s acne or big feet or ears that stick out “a little too far” or a crooked tooth or a balding scalp, we are all struggling with something physically, at varying degrees. Thing is, we aren’t scared of these abnormalities specifically, rather we fear what others will think about them. Seeing this has greatly shifting my perspective on, what I now see as, a mild imperfection.

As my attitude towards something I can’t really fix shifts, I post this picture as a cheers to the imperfections of us all. Your outlook, your relationships, your attitude, your work ethic, your values, and your generosity expand far beyond anything physical.
