Description
Who here has had Bell's Palsy? Do you have something that makes you feel self conscious sometimes? Many years ago, I suffered from Bell’s Palsy. And unfortunately, it left some permanent nerve damage in the right side of my face. My painting of Dorian Gray shows a lot about how I feel about it. He was beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside, and I felt like the mirror-opposite. People would only see my flawed face and not the real me. It took a lot of painful procedures to correct it, and my eye is still not the same as it was before. And it’s something that can make me self-conscious. Sometimes people will comment online about my eye and facial twitching, or even give it names they think is cute or funny, and it’s hard to read those posts. But I am who I am, twitch and all. I learned to accept myself because it's me now and forever, for better and for worse. I've learned how to love myself for who I am! So I want to send a message of hope and love to anyone out there that has something they are insecure about. Take it from me, it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside. Who you are isn’t defined by your “imperfections”, what makes you beautiful is on the inside!
