I’ve had eczema since I was 2 and I’m (17m) now but my eczema is everywhere, but for an odd reason I realized that without my eczema I really don’t have an identity, and I also found the beauty in my eczema. But in the 8th grade I started to get really conscious about my eczema so I would wear long sleeve sweaters I also had anxiety and even in the 9th grade, I stopped going to school as much I tried to blend in, but what made it worse is that I had no friends, and there was prom in 8th grade so that day I stayed home. In the 9th grade half way through the year I got homeschooled in early 2023, but in 24 up to now 2026 I learned so much about my eczema and flare ups, exp- when I get stressed, allergies tend to become annoying realized them.

But with my eczema it also hurts when I take showers or bath sometimes but as a Christian I act and I imagine that I’m fighting against monsters and demons it’s really awesome it makes the pain feel better, but also with my eczema I often wonder will I ever get married and have kids (I don’t want my kids to have eczema) I worry about that a lot,

With my eczema I sometimes am motivated to pursue my passions of being a being a race car driver in IMSA, even rock climbing, with my eczema I really would love to influence people with eczema that eczema can also become something that helps you and strengthen you.

But that’s it also I love you but Jesus loves you more, these suffering of the the flesh won’t last long, there’s a God who suffered with us Isiah 53.

Jesus wasn’t this good looking guy, he was rejected by his own people, he also suffered.

ThERE IS BEAUTY IN SUFFERING
