Burned

I'm not saying my story is better than anyone elses but we do live in that kinda society.The "beautiful people" for the most part have it easier than the rest but anyway.When I was 10 I got burned from buring our household trash 35% 3rd degree burns,face,hands and arms.I am missing half an eyebrow,a chunk of moustache,you get the point anyway my point is this it can always be worse,and after 30 years you figure you'd get used to being pointed and snicckerd at,and the disgusted looks.

    Interesting with your perspective. I am an attractive woman--not necessarily turned your head beautiful--but attractive.



    Recently I had an allergic reaction to my face, burnt red and then pealing as if I had a terrible sunburn. I wore no makeup for 10 days and used several tubes chap stick. I hated the way I looked, even though most people who did see told me it was not that bad.



    I had the thought about people who deformities or like you someone who has an accident. If this reaction (we still don't know what it is though the reaction has cleaned up).



    I also thought about the way I would have to adjust my own attitude if I did not get rid of this burnt red chapped face.



    Though I am smart, I have enjoyed the benefits of being attractive (at least that is what people tell me).



    I believe that attractive people have it easier. But, I also tell you that confident people are attractive to me.



    I am married, but when I observe men, it's their confidence and ability to laugh make them attractive.



    Be confident and fun.
