I faced it when dealing with weight, hair loss and lash loss as a result from cancer treatment. Those closest to me were some of the same ones whose words cut me just as much as the whispering words I would hear from strangers I passed by often. Took me some time but I, too, had to remember the only thing that matters is how I feel about myself and how I love myself. This story is to encourage others that no matter what is on the outside, true beauty is within. It is to encourage others to remember scars and appearance are testimony that you survived whatever you have had to endure. This story is also for others to realize that laughter and negative words spoken can penetrate deeply and hurt another.
