Dear Shayna B.,

I love your column so much. You inspire me to be the best version of myself possible. I have an issue: I feel really self-conscious about my nose. I’m afraid people won’t like me because of my big nose. Overall, I think I look nice, but I’m really embarrassed about my nose. Please tell me how to deal with this unfortunate facial flaw!

Sincerely,

Friendless Frieda

Dear Friendless Frieda,

If you think people notice you for your nose,

Maybe they’re actually admiring your green toes.

If you look in a mirror and realize

That you are the person that you despise,

You’re your own worst enemy

And you’re wasting your energy

Because the people who love you for who you are

Know that you’re really a shining star.

So go with a smile on your face

And remember to tie your shoe lace!

Best of luck,

Shayna B.
