Ive been thinking a lot lately. about my vitiligo and all, like how its effected my life. and to tell the truth it hasnt affected my life that terribly. ive had my ups and down but ive always had people around me to open up to (when i wanted to). i want to accept my condition someday and be confident i myself. im hoping that day come soon, really soon. ive also realized that i dont have the worst case scenario. there are kids and men and women out there that have cancer and are not doing well. theres peple with deformities worse than mine. ive been trying not to feel sorry about myself. i was given vitiligo for a reason. god chose to grant me with this and all of this is because we are the strong ones that can handle the hardships. we are all special because of that and many other reasons but thats just one. if you think about it and many people have told me this, everyone has insucurities. ours just may happen to be our vit, i want to make it and find in myself so its not my vit. i can change how i feel about my vit. i need to be confident in myself in order for othere people to be confident in me. i can do anything i want to do, be who i want to be, talk to who i want to talk to. ive always thought that my vit would stop me from doing things like wearing a bikini, being around guys in shorts and making friends. it has stoped me before im not going to let it stop me anymore. im going to wear my bikinis no mater if people stare im just let it blow off my shoulder. i am who i am if a boy or anyone cant accept me for who i am they are not worth my time. they really arent. so im going to be confident in myself and not let other people bring me down. im going to try, the day will come where i think of my vit as a privlege. to be strong enough to handle this. i want everyone to come to acceptance with their vit. we are all special in our own little way. you are all beautiful and always will be. you guys are the greatest and this community is so perfect and it will always help othe people like me and you, so let it help. have confidince in yourself. you all deserve to like and love your skin your in and you always should. love your self. never let anyone bring you down.
with lots of love and hope, Heather
