I share the same insecurities!!! Often, I become a bit too hard on myself. Others would even say that some have it worse but self-esteem issues aren't something you can just shrug off especially if it's been deeply rooted ever since.

I recall having a handkerchief on hand during highschool just to cover my face when I walk around. This went on up until college. During college, I never left outside without bb cream to cover my face. Heck, even socializing with people was so difficult for me because I didn't want myself to be seen, scared that they might notice my skin or something similar. Everyday was a struggle of trying to pretend I was comfortable in my own skin, up until today. I remember praying for clear skin every single day and even asking my sister to pray with me so that God would hear my wish haha! I've always hated my back too. I'd sometimes stand or sit up straight but I always end up looking like try too hard to have a straight back whenever I would try to correct it. Haha!

As for my back, I eventually got used to it. Some are just blessed to have the ideal bone structure. As for my skin, I'm also starting to get used to going out without make-up on. I've never done it at the office yet (haha) but when I have to fetch food outside the house and during instances wherein it's unlikely to meet someone I know, I can already leave without make-up. (This is already a big improvement for me hahahaha).

Thanks for sharing! I can completely relate to this. Here's to being patient and extra kinder to ourselves! :)
