<p>This isn’t some tan girl covered in makeup with perfectly straight hair and a perfect smile. This is a girl with Pfeiffer Syndrome, who has had bangs her whole life to hide her forehead and struggles everyday to be okay with looking this way. She’s had several surgeries and will have a couple more. she can’t wear makeup much, her eyes are sensitive. Her jaw is misaligned. Her forehead is too thick and has to be shaven down. Her cheekdowns have to be moved forward by surgery. when she was four she had something called a ‘halo’ which was a metal circle screwed into her skull and jaw.<br />
though she fought through it medically, she struggles everyday with the emotional sideeffects. she doesn’t look like her family or her friends. she may never look normal. she has depression and eating issues because of what she has had to accept about herself. she has done awful things to be pretty.<br />
nobody ever sees her without makeup or without bangs.<br />
until now.<br />
She, is me.<br />
and if I make your blog ugly, than don’t reblog this. but if you can be one of the few people in my life who I know are fully comfortable with it, than reblog this so people know.<br />
you are beautiful. even if you don’t realize it, you are. everyone is,</p>
<p>Why doesn’t this have more notes?</p>
<p>9,000,000 users, 9,000,000 notes.<br />
most beautiful girl i have ever seen :) to being yourself i support you♥<br />

The young woman you see above has a condition called Pfeiffer Syndrome.  For a blog post, which you should read here, she decided to pull back her bangs and not hide her face.  After creating her blog post and going to bed, she was shocked to wake up the following morning with many people calling her confidence and act of posting an unabridged pictures of herself a true inspirational message for modern society.

This is the original post from Dushane:

Writing about her experience on Huffington Post, Dushane reveals a great truth that everyone should take note of:

“Who gave celebrities, magazines, and models the right to tell us what is “normal”? We see ad campaign after commercial after movie after celebrity red carpet, and take those messages as right. But in reality, shouldn’t we be able to define beautiful ourselves? Shouldn’t 10 nice comments weigh more than one negative? ”

The message of truth from this young woman is a good wake-up call for our narcissitic, Kardashian-glitterati society.

      • Claire, this was a moment to recognize and support the courage, fortitude, and heart of this dear Renee. Now you have used it to spread your message of hate and loneliness. Not everything is about you. You should be ashamed of yourself! Everyone else came together and made nice posts. Why can’t you be humane for once.

            CLAIRE. My fathomless well of patience drains ever closer to the bottom with you. You deliberately changed the subject from positive comments contributed by Christwire users to attacks on Christwire. Why not focus on the positive here? You disgust me.

            Really now? Because as humans, we must be incapable of recognizing that we have done wrong, and improving ourselves through experience. Is that right? Once a thief, always a thief, Claire?

          • @Hank: I wouldn’t go expecting a charitable spirit from a liberal. They don’t tend to have any positive example to strive toward, so subsequently, they have very little concept of self-improvement.

          • Claire, as usual I am so very disappointed in you. I thought that for once, every one could come together as one voice of happiness and togetherness, christwire flocker and godless pony loving atheist sodomite alike, but you ruined it. You ruined a beautiful moment. Way to go. Stop projecting your sadness and loneliness upon all of us!

          • Where does it say that in this article? You people really make me sick with your hate. This is a family values news organization, why don’t you just shut up if you cannot be nice and enjoy a great, inspirational story.

          • “Where does it say that in this article?”

            How about you read the comment before posting a reply, Adam? L.N. said “you sick fucks COULD EASILY spin it”, he didn’t say that you did in this particular article. After all, this article was written by Dean, a good man with good values.

            L.N. is absolutely correct. What about the times that natural disasters take lives? You assholes try to claim that it was an act of “god”.

          • Focus on the article. Dean works for ChristWire just like all the other authors. You cannot just cherry-pick people out and say ‘but the rest would say’, okay? You people just want there to always be chaos and controversy where there is none. This is a great story and I am very proud and happy for that beautiful young woman the story is about. Why not just leave it at that? This is a great story about the human spirit and a good slap in the face to the vacuous modern society.

          • What article of his would I pick? Easy, every one but this one. Occasionally one of you morons will say something that’s irrefutably good, and then it won’t happen again for several months at a time. It’s called the ‘exception to the rule’, and it’s not something set in stone (unlike some of your rules, quite literally).

            I will not let you do that to Dean. I have seen what she has done to Bruce and WILL NOT allow that hussy to ruin another great christian man.

            I know you only want what is best, but while having a good christian man to bring love into Claires otherwise pathetic life might be good for her will it be good for Dean? Will it be good for God?

You are lost. I feel for you but will not waste much time in trying to save you anymore.

            You are lonely, Claire. Even if it’s hard to admit, you keep coming back to this site because it provides for you a sense of community. Even if you are openly hostile to this community and generally unwelcome, it still gives you the sense of human connection that you can’t find elsewhere.

    Well I truly enjoyed reading about this young woman’s personal triumph over adversity. This is also the first opportunity I have had to read one of Dean’s works and I must admit I am impressed. Keep up the good work Dean and don’t let L.N. & Claire’s comments take root. Both of them seem so hostile with every post on CW that I all but ignore their posts now. Maybe both of them should see a doctor and gets some medication for what I believe to be Major Depression Recurrent. Anyway I liked the story very much and thanks for posting Dean.
