It's a story older than time itself:
You wake up in the morning, feeling pretty optimistic this is going to be the best day ever.
Until you catch yourself in the mirror and your life slowly begins to crumble.
1. You inspect the situation carefully and closely.
2. You take the time to curse not only this intruder's residence on your face, but the particular position it has chosen.
3. A dark period of self-loathing and anguish sets in.
4. You decide to never leave your room. You will live like a hermit and never return to the outside world.
5. But no, you have your LIFE TO LIVE!! You take a hot shower to mull over the options.
6. You attempt to camouflage the unwelcomed intruder using your keen fashion sense.
7. You then smother it with makeup and concealers.
Perfect.
8. If all else fails? You consider the end-all-be-all of zit solutions.
9. You realize that even if you can hide it, you will have to live knowing it is there – on your face, where it could very well stay forever.
10. You convince yourself this entire experience will make you a stronger and more grounded person.
11. You take another hot shower to mull this over.
12. You wrestle with some bargaining, until you realize this is one thing you really can't control.
13. You try to look on the bright side. Things could be worse, right?
14. It's about this time you check your calendar and realize you probably have something very important going on today.
15. Frustration and anxiety sets in as you envision how your loved ones will react to this awful turn of events.
"How bad is it?"
16. You become a tad hysterical when nobody seems to be noticing it.
17. It is in this one beautiful moment you will find acceptance and peace.
18. Because stupid zits are the great equalizer – NO ONE IS SAFE. In that notion, you will find solitude.
