My nose and chin slant to the right. Not a lot, and maybe other people don’t notice. But I do.
I’m a very soulful and deep person, and only now that I’m sober and doing inner child work am I beating up on myself for my asymmetrical face and adult acne. I stare at it when I review my videos for work. I can tilt my head a bit and depending how I wear my hair, people won’t notice.
My older sister had a botched nose job and regrets it. My mom and cousin also had them. I don’t want to get one and later regret it. I just want peace with my face.
I admire style icons who aren’t the prettiest but are über cool and confident. I want to accept myself. Writing that statement makes me cry.
How can I accept my face?
