Some thoughts

Although that's beautifully written, I am sorry you feel cursed by this condition. Is that you in the picture? I found you amazingly beautiful. Read on your profile that you're only 17, so you're still growing, maturing. Even without vitiligo, something else might have made you feel this way. God never gives us something we cannot endure. If you have vitiligo is because you have the strength to handle it.

However, I do understand how you feel .There are days when I too hate looking in the mirror. And then I see or talk to the people I love. It reminds me that love is in fact blind. I loved the moment when my niece, almost 9, asked what I had, I explained what it is. She asked if it hurt. I said no. Our play date continued without a hitch. And that would be life, people will ask, we will explain, but at the end of the day, those who truly love and those who deserve a place in your life and heart will not care at all.

It takes time. It's a journey, but you will feel better.

I look in the mirror...and I see a child of God.
If God made me this way I will walk His road.
As hard as it gets He will hear my prayers.
And give me grace to live with love in my heart.
He has never let me down.

This is a time for courage,
This is our future,
Don't reflect instead look past your doubt and guilt and see that everyone believes in the good person that you are.
