If a child ever says "You're beautiful" They are the purest form of innocence on earth. Believe in them. Nobody had it perfect growing up. Our parents are only human. They are not designed without errors. Last time, I checked it's okay to make mistakes. You're stronger than your situation. Life is what you make of it. So don't stress yourself over today. If tomorrow will provide a continuation or series of opportunities. It may not be perfectly flawless. There's no other you. That is what truly beautiful about your individual uniqueness. Embrace your authenticity. It's rare now a days. Handle the toughest situations with a smile. Cause the tears, do not make you weak. It's cleansing, refreshing Remember, from that very thing that once sadden you... You will acquire new found strength to aid another going through the same battle. Your strength much like your presence impact many lives and builds bonds. Believe in yourself. Love yourself. As you should. There's no other like you.
