The story of Beauty and the Beast always puzzled me when I was younger. After all, how could a girl so beautiful prevail to be with a man so ugly?

But it wasn't for the girl's sake that this question was asked. The Beast was my hero.
I am like the Beast. No matter who you ask, I'm ugly.

And before you say that it's just low self-esteem, let me assure you it's not that.

See, I was born with a very rare cancer that dissolved and deprived the melanin from my cells. (Not Albinoism) To give you a better visual, I'm a walking human skeleton from those medical books you read in health class!

So, never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined finding someone who would accept me - much less love me!

But nothing is ever as it seems in my life...

All I know is that the heart knows nothing of the flesh.
