When I was growing up I was a bit ashamed of my nose. I also felt a bit jealous towards my siblings because they have noses that are nicely shaped and not flat like mine. My mother’s joking that I was adopted did not help raise my already deflated ego nor kids’, I mean bullies in the neighborhood’s constant tortures like: ‘flat nose’ or ‘are you sure you’re not adopted?’ I must admit that it really bothered me for many years and have caused me to think of rhinoplasty nose reshaping because I was so convinced that this was the only solution to this ‘embarrassment’.
But as I become more mature, I realized that nose reshaping isn’t for me though many people opt to have their noses reshaped for their own reasons. Am I against it? Certainly not. So why didn’t I had my nose reshaped.
Because I believe in the beauty inside.
I may not be beautiful outside and I only have this flat nose…but I love me. I love myself. And I know I am not a bad person. I learned to accept that not everybody will accept you for who you are but that’s not my problem. Teasing come from people who are insecure themselves. So would I let this kind of people or ugly words destroy my spirit? Beside there isn’t anything that a good make up can not do to make my nose, any nose for that matter look good.
