I keep thinking I'll out grow it, but I'm 22 and it's still there.

I also thought no one liked em and wanted to be my friend. Who would want to LOOK at me?! It was emotionally painful. I felt horrible about myself. And it WAS painful. I was always nervous about boys touching my face. I never wanted to go to sleepovers and outings or swim parties because I was in NO way going to let anyone see me without make up-especially in the sunlight. My mom told me that I had to have acne to be humble, because if I didn't I would be too pretty to be humble. Her words, not mine. But it does make me more compassionate for people who aren't blessed in the looks department. We naturally avoid unattractive people, it's sad but true to some extent.Alexis Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078793693594634917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893515133765667462.post-69587672363598483952011-06-13T16:19:33.458-06:002011-06-13T16:19:33.458-06:00You're amazing!

I still have horrible scars on my face because of that time, and though it's much better, I break out much more than your average twenty-four year old. Lame. haha You are so right, though, in that we are daughters of the Most High.
