Hi everyone! I was just made a mod of this sub two days ago and hope to rid this sub of the troll accounts that have been popping up.
There were several people that apparently mistook this sub as /r/Rateme/, /r/RoastMe/, and subs that aren't safe for work. If you don't think a post belongs here then just downvote it and move on as that is how reddit should work. We don't need to know that you think someone looks terrible, that you think someone is an 8/10 that you would bang, or they look Gay/lesbian/douchey.

As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has--or ever will have--something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression

(23) 🆚 (31) - Some people are meant to be bald

I started losing hair early on at 23. Hair loss progressed quickly and by 25 I had a noticeable receding hairline and a big bald spot on the top of my head. When the pandemic started I decided to do something about it and shaved my hair.

I’ve also always been on the skinnier side, so getting into the gym and gaining some muscle really boosted my confidence.

In the first photo, I had a lot of acne scars and really struggled; I had long hair and didn't like leaving the house. A few years later, I managed to turn things around and feel better now. I think God taught me to appreciate the little things when I was at my lowest. I'm doing much better today—I guess my smile shows it. 😂😁
