In a world as cruel as ours, sometimes the best superpower one can have is a strong sense of self worth with a generous helping of 'fuck you buddy!".

Well she isnt pretty in the conventional sense, but she is far from ugly ugly, and looks like a very nice person.

Roald Dahl would say that, contrary to a truly ugly person, her positive thoughts "shine out of (her) face like sunbeams and (she) will always look lovely."

She's Melissa Blake, and her blog is about her life with Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome.

It does present with a variety of symptoms and effects on appearance, so you may know someone with it who looks quite different.

She literally fucking has it. Like that’s not speculation.

I think she's cute. I would definitely be her friend. She looks like she makes a mean cup of coffee and loves gushing about books. ☺️

She's adorable! She looks like a Gepetto had a Cabbage Patch Doll and another wish.
