Sometimes Our Hair is a Mess

I have awful bunions. My bunions hurt. My feet have become wider due to my long walks.

I usually get a pimple or two around my mouth every month. This is natural and I need to deal with it.

I openly talk about my flaws because I don’t feel that I should filter out anything; I’m sincere and I live up to this.

I am aware that there have been a lot of botched cosmetic surgeries.

A lot of people have died as a result of botched surgeries.

Some people have become mentally disabled as a result of botched surgeries.

Others have become deformed as a result.

I wish that everyone felt easier about themselves.

I don’t like that I get a boil around my mouth a few times a year but this is how my skin is. My skin always heals. Acne is a monthly problem for me and, while I don’t like it because it hurts, I need to accept it and find solutions to reduce the pain and redness.

We humans may get moles over time.

Sometimes we don’t smell so good.

Sometimes our hair is a mess.

Sometimes we have marks on our bodies that we want to eliminate.
