My Nose and Me

This is my gross nose. It has this horrible bump in the middle of it and that's what I hate. The fact that I had a yuck nose was oh so kindly pointed out to me by the boy I had a crush on. I was 11 and one day he asked me

Boy: "Did somebody throw a brick at your face?
Me: "What?"
Boy: "Did you break your nose? Why is there a big bump on it?"
Me: "No."

I went home looked in the mirror and since then hate this bump. I try to avoid standing profile to people as well as having photos taken from the side. I had a teacher in grade 6 who used to say we were twins because she had a bump on her nose. I did not find that cute of her or anything. That bothered me because all I would see was her ugly nose and hated the fact I had something similar attached to my face.

Since then I have had a terrible relationship with my nose. We just don't get along. I hate profile photos and try to avoid standing side on from people just so no one sees my nose. I'm a pretty confident person, but my nose is the one thing I am extremely self conscious about. I want to be an actor but there just aren't really many roles for bumpy nosed women. I could be typecast as a witch I guess. If I was a bloke it wouldn't be so bad, great nose for Fagan from Oliver
