Re: Dealing withold issues
First off, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to you Erin and now is a good a time as any to assure you, you and your freckles are more than welcome here! I too have freckles, as does my daughter and I wouldn't have it any other way because they add character to a face IMHO. Of course, now that I'm closing in on 40, my freckles have all but faded away but I will admit to missing their presence when I look in the mirror.
I'm very sorry for the turmoil you've experienced in your past and my heart goes out to you. The sad thing about a child suffering is the child eventually grows up to become an adult but the suffering never matures, it remains. I can tell from your post that you are a great person and I'm sure if you allow that inner beauty to radiate outward, others will see it as well. Just so you know, my mom also has red hair and freckles and she is one of the most beautiful women I've ever had the privilege of knowing.
Quite honestly, I don't think your freckles should even be on your mind. If you know people who judge you from appearances then you should be thankful because they've shown you what kind of losers they are deep down. Real friends do not judge you nor do they act in ways to hurt you. The same can be said for family members as well, just because their family that does not make them friends, unless they love and support you.
Thank you very much for your post. I sincerely hope you will feel welcome enough to continue posting here because we are all one big happy family of fun loving people.
Sincerely,
Ken
