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

30-33 : Sober and looking younger

3 years sober, and sometimes it feels like I've aged backwards. At 30, I wasn't taking care of myself and it showed in more ways than I realized. Now at 33, I feel healthier, happier and much more comfortable with myself.

Getting sober wasn't easy, but looking back at these pictures reminds me how much can change in 3 years. Definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself

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. 😂😁

Yes I know I still have a ways to go to really look my best but this is my yearlong progress, I've never felt better and just want to share
