You think you have issues with your looks or you think you are not pretty enough, then you should read LizzieVelasquez's story and be grateful for what you have!
25-year-old Lizzie Velasquez was born with a very rare syndrome that is still undiagnosed - the condition prevents her from gaining weight.
While growing up, she was bullied and insulted because of her "look" and a few years ago, she was named the world's ugliest woman in a video which went viral.
Well, she is now a friend to many celebrities, a motivational speaker and earns a good living because she didn't let it weigh her down. She refused to give up and turned the tides in her favor instead.
She has an interesting interview (below) with E recently where she opened up on how she got past the hate she received from peeps while growing up.
"It's a process that I had to figure out, of how to handle negative comments. When I was younger, I would just sit there and read every single one and obviously, it was awful. There were times when I felt like people were physically putting their hands through the computer and really hurting me on purpose.There's days where I'm like, in my mind, ‘I wish I could tell this person something!' But it's not going to accomplish anything. It's just going to be me sinking down to their level and a never-ending battle of hiding behind a computer screen."If someone compliments me on my eye makeup, I get really excited, because I can only see out of one eye, so I'm literally putting makeup on blind."
She told E!
Oh by the way, she has over 90,000 followers on instagram who tell her how beautiful she is and encourage her to do more exploits!
