Does anyone else reassure themselves knowing they'll eventually get the surgery they need? I'm starting to work really hard to save up. I should be able to get my most urgent surgery (nose) in two years. I'm very hopeful for my future after years of suffering. I know therapy is essential, which I do plan on going to but it's a fact that my face isn't very appealing.

I'll be able to afford a lip lift and fat transfer to my breasts in a year at most and that makes me so excited for the future. I've been ugly for too long. I refuse to "accept" how I look when there are so many gorgeous women out there. Why is it so wrong to change how you look? People are praised and respected for their beauty. I shouldn't be exempt from that just because I had the misfortune to be born looking the way I do.
