One thing is absolutely inevitable: Change.

I don't believe that change is a good or a bad thing, it just is. Some things will get better over time while others will get worse. Regardless, things won't always be this way.

I've never been a good looking person and the crap I've gotten for it still plays in my head when I look in the mirror. What people can say or do hurts. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. People can be horrible. You're one of the good ones, though.
