A face is not supposed to look beautiful. A face is not supposed to look ugly. A face is supposed to be a face; a combination of other faces.
I look at myself in the mirror. I don’t know what is a beautiful face. I know most of my friends have gotten a nose job. I know that a lot of my friends want to be somebody else, that they have a face to run away from. I look at myself in the mirror; I don’t know what is an ugly face. I look at my eyes, I see my mother’s eyes. My nose is my grandfather’s nose. My upper lip is my dad’s upper lip. I smile. Each one of my teeth are different from each other. I wonder how many other people have this exact smile?
I look at my face; a combination of my father and my mother. Two people that I love.
I look at my face and I think “how lucky I am to be able to carry my mother, my father and grandfather all in the same place for the rest of my life.”
My face is not supposed to be beautiful. My face is not supposed to be ugly. My face is supposed to be "my" face. As it is; a combination of real people that loved each other, even if it was for a second.
