I won't cover my birthmark for bullies anymore - shake my beauty

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
A MUM has learnt to love her port wine birthmark after years of hiding it - with one cruel comment likening it to a 'dead foetus'. Kira McCracken, from Ohio, didn-t really worry about her port wine birthmark until she got to seventh grade. It was then that she asked her mum if she could start wearing makeup to cover it up. Armed with cosmetic products designed to conceal tattoos, and even an airbrush to create a smooth finish, Kira, now aged 24, would spend 45 minutes to an hour putting on her makeup every day. Her birthmark has been described as everything from a blueberry to a dead foetus and over the years Kira has learnt how to respond to the comments and stares she's received. By the time she hit her Freshman year, encouraged by her group of supportive friends, Kira stopped covering up her birthmark. Now a mother, she wants to show her six-year-old daughter and partner, Dominic that it's ok to be herself

Have you ever seen a boy with funny clothes? A girl with braces on her teeth or freckles on her nose? Some kids call them odd balls, some kids call them weird. God makes lots of people in all colors, shapes, & sizes. He loves them very much & what we need to realize is that calling people names because they're different is wrong.
Yea, we-re all pretty different. Some are skinny, some are stout.
But the inside is the part we-re supposed to care about.
Aye! That-s why we have feelings that are very much the same. So instead of saying -wierdo- I think -friends- is a better name.

I think the part with her daughter looking into her face and saying -mommy, you are beautiful! - Was such an endearing truth. Because mommy's show you the most love (or they're supposed to) They give selflessly and love you no matter what. When we love others -no matter what- it makes us beautiful. Beauty from the inside never fades, and if you build it up, it only gets more beautiful with age. What a courageous, beautiful, strong woman! Your family is truly blessed to have you in their lives-

People can be really cruel and insensitive. While it-s easy to say don-t let what others say impact you, it-s going to hurt someone-s feelings unless you-re a sociopath. But it-s just a fact that when people say hurtful things it-s a reflection of themselves and not of the person at whom the comment was directed. I-ve found that the types of people who say things like that are usually less evolved humans ( lower intelligence, lower EQ, one dimensional, etc.

Honestly, port wine stains are one of those not -conventionally attractive- things that I-ve always loved. There was this girl in my class growing up that had this beautiful port wine stain that went diagonally over her face and down her neck. I always thought it looked like paint spilled out on a canvas, or a galaxy across her face.

I dont have a birthmark and I use to comb my body as a kid looking and wondering where mine was. I asked my mom how will people know I was born? Erm, bc you are standing right here! I think the port wine mark is beautiful. Dead fetus? Were they looking in the mirror or what? Dumb. Keep being beautiful!

You are an inspiration to me. I have acne scars. My son tells me I'm beautiful with or without make up but I don't feel as beautiful unless I wear makeup. I wish I had your strength. Do you have ig? Mine is -amberbadazzz lol old name need to change it. But would love to follow you!

I saw a comment that said she looks like thing one and thing two from the cat in the hat movie, like seriously? Stop with all the nasty comments about her, she may not have conventional beauty to you but her spirit and her personality is amazing.

That bit about nothing really being ugly hit home. Such an eloquent way to put it! Very well spoken, you are, m'dear: ) and that is beauty in this gal's eyes! Keep up the inspiring, motivational messaging you send out!

She's surrounded with ppl who genuinely love her. I watched several videos of who got addicted to plastic surgery and think what if they had someone also sees their inner beauty.
reply

That's awesome! I'm so happy for her and her husband, that's just great man. You should never hide yourself and she just stepped up with confidence and that's really inspiring.

I knew a kid in high school who had a port wine birthmark on his face. He had the best personality, and was one of the most popular people in school.
