I have acne. Tons of it. Since 5th grade.
Because I'm so insecure about it, I havn't looked at my face in the mirror in months because I'm scared about what Im going to see. I dont click pictures because I hate to see what Im dreading in actual proof. I hide myself from rearview mirrors, avoid reflective, black screens, and don't look at myslef when Im trying on clothes.
If I had one wish, I would be selfish and beg God to take it all away.
I havn't gone one day in years without someone mentioning it. I've seen my friend's sisters come to recognize me as " the girl with spots". My grandparents just don't leave it alone. I don't even remember what I look like.
I havn't slept in years without putting some kind of facial cream. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep because I've seen a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I hate what I see.
Back in my old house, my neighbour had a cousin who I was pretty close to who ahd terrible acne. She was almost 27 and it wasn't showing any signs of leaving her. It's stupid and shallow, but one of my biggest fears is that I'll live with acne forever.
I hate myself for letting a thing like this get to me. But I guess it's been too much for just too darn long.

Where would we be if we had no cupcakes?
Where would we be if we had no cupcakes?
We would be living a half-baked pie
Things would be a shadow of what could have been
It would be an un-lived life
Frosting is pure bliss
Happiness comes with chocolate
When you bite into gourmet cupcakes
It's like a work of fate
What would we do on a bad day,
without this package of sweet?
Where would this world be,
If we didn't have a cupcake to eat?
We would be living a half-baked pie
Things would be a shadow of what could have been
It would be an un-lived life
Frosting is pure bliss

When you bite into gourmet cupcakes
It's like a work of fate
What would we do on a bad day,
without this package of sweet?
Where would this world be,
If we didn't have a cupcake to eat?

Is age really a limitation?
Barack Obama- First Black President of the United States
Prathima Patil- First woman president of India
X Y - First child president ever?
It's true that an adult would have more sense at a press conference, more grace on a podium and more sophistication on a red carpet. An adult may symbolize a stronger nation. But when you come down to the heart of it, a country wants a president that has their best intentions, for the country, not for themselves. And nobody is more honest or pure than a child.
It's often scietifically said that kids can be smarter than adults. They tend to find the simplest soloution in the toughest problems. And this is mainly because children don't have to think about where their loyalties lie or about political power. They just find the one answer that is the best for everybody. While it's true that an adult has a better understanding of world problems, its equally true that more than 35% of the population is children and young teenagers. How often are their problems focused on? And while it can be agreed that in countries like the United States or places in Europe are extremely child friendly, less can be said about places like India where there are safety problems, huge suicide rates in students and other different problems evolving children and young adults.
In fact, even in normal concerns, children are helpful. Children are generally more environment friendly than adults, follow rules more, and are more openminded.
I think that having a child as a president is sort of ridiculous but I do belueve that if a capable child, maybe at an older stage, is somehow connecetd to the goverment, it would benifit any country.
