I have a birthmark on my left cheek. Most of my life I had to face the staring and the pointing countless times ever since I can remember. It was a nightmare. I would look in the mirror for hours, just staring at my birthmark, wondering why this happened to me or how can I get rid of this. I was afraid to show people the real me because I believed they only saw “it”.
