<p>if it helps at all, i'm a former community pageant winner (you'd think id be as cocky as roosters get) but a few months ago, when i developed the most acute acne ever to pop onto this earth, my self-image came roaring down on cliffs. showing my face to ppl became a nightmare - life sucked.
i woke up mornings to the mirror and thought: damn... =(
lol</p>
<p>BUT (happy ending) i went to the dermo and he (alias Jesus Christ) saved my skin and now im just waiting for my medications to come in and clear this hideousness outtt. hopefully, i can face the world again with poise and spirit. </p>
<p>moral of the story: ppl can help. identify the biggest flaw u think u have (key word - think), make sure it really IS a messy flaw, then fix it with a little advice from experts (not kids on a forum)</p>
