I am 32 and have had this for 2 years now. I feel your pain all of you, I really do. I wish it was something that could be hidden under a hat or some clothing but no its right out there where everyone will be looking at you.
BUT, sitting around moping isn't the way to go about it. Just gotta say f*** IT and go do what ya gotta do. I mean seriously there is worse things in life that you could have. Take that lady who got her whole face ripped off by a chimpanzee. How do you think she feels on a day to day basis.
