[Personal] The Acne Parasite

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Getting out of bed, I wonder how many new cysts I have on my blemish-ridden face today. The compulsion to squeeze and pick every pea sized lump on my skin almost overcomes me, but I could never get away with that. Most of my friends do, however, and I am more jealous of their clear skin than anything in the world. When they get one whitehead they proudly proclaim how easy it was to pop it and get rid of their "acne."Staring in the mirror, I can't even remember the last time I smiled. All my memories are polluted with my inner-dialogue of acne anxiety, much like right now. It's amazing how bumps on my face can completely derail my life. I find myself watching documentaries of poor African children and staring in envy of their clear skin. I would trade my life with theirs.Acne attacks in more ways than just your physical appearance. It becomes a parasite. Quicksand that wraps around your legs and prevents you from growing."I really want to start gaining weight and working out, but I would probably break out more, I'll start when my face is clear.""I really want to spend more time with my friends, but they would judge my face, I'll wait until I have no more acne.""I really think she is beautiful, but I know I'm not, I would totally talk to her if my face was clear.""I really want to go to school today, but my face hurts, I will go once I can stand to look at myself."Constant worrying causes fatigue, poor sleep, poor diet, and overall poor life. I don't want to have kids if this is what they will go through. The acne parasite is in full control of my life, for now.I stop looking in the mirror and cleanse, treat, and moisturize. One day I will beat this, and the quicksand will let go.
