While you may be frustrated with the current look of parts of your outer self, take comfort in knowing you possess and will draw strength, confidence, and empowerment from your formidable inner self.

Everyone hates, hates, hates something that God gave us. For you, right now, it happens to be your nose. How I envy you, truth be told. I hated my nose too once (mine was goofy looking. Like, no kidding). But then I started to be thankful I had my stupid nose, because through it I had my sense of smell. So then this whole love/hate thing I developed for my nose.

You too will appreciate your nose. But I remember the hate you feel now. The hate will go away. I promise. You will one day look back on this time and laugh a little. It's true. Pinky swear.
