Lichen Planus

I read this quote last night and it really spoke to me. In a strange way it explained how I feel about my skin. Hopefully it will do the same for you.

"What an unexpected of fate: Only aftermy skin was scarred did I finally become able to really feel. Only after being born into physical repulsiveness did I come to glimpse the possibilities of the heart: I accepted this atrocious body because it was forcing me to overcome the limitations of who I am, while my previous body allowed me to hide them. I am not a hero in soul and never will be, but I'm better than I was. Or so I tell myself; and for now, that is enough.
