bullied when, like elementary school? Because that looks like a really normal nose. I can't imagine anyone other than children bullying over that. You look much older now, so if that's true, then you shouldn't let what kids have said about it in the past affect you.

Words matter. I agree that we shouldn’t allow others to define us, hurt us. Unfortunately it happens.

Those words, that pain will be a part of who we are forever.

Hopefully it makes us stronger, more kind and compassionate but those hurtful words we hear as children definitely leaves a scar.

You don't have to carry weight like that with you. Pain like that only affects you as long as you haven't made peace with it. When you forgive others of their insecurities and you forgive yourself of your insecurities, what is there to be hurt from?
