" getting over burn scaring is hard enough, and to think you are a freak or say your not good enough for any one is not true, i have 3rd degree burn scaring on both legs and my partner as been with me for 6 years.

she is always saying to me why not wear short in the summer, she try to help me by saying things like my legs do not bother her when we are out and some times i do.

she loves me for who i am and not what i am or what i look like nor is she with me out of sorrow.

you look beautiful in the picture, you will find someone that will only be interested in you and not your past or what you look like.

do not take second best!! find someone to love you for you.

i wish the very best and hope you do find that secial someone huggs xxx mikey from the uk. "
