It has taken some time, and years of therapy, and growing older, to be able to start forgiving my own faults. I'm still working on it, but it makes living much easier.

In 20 years I won't have my youthful appearance anymore, if my mom is any clue, lol. But for now, it helps that I'm of Cherokee lineage... my cheeks are baby cheeks. It also helps that I dont get out in the sun very often, and when I do, I use bucketloads of sunscreen, lol.
