How Can I Live With the Way I Look?

That’s what the young gentleman asked me. “Everyone says I’m ugly,” he added. And these three pictures:

My answer was obvious—and based in fact:

Dude, you’re not ugly.

I just checked and according to celebslike.me, you look like Michael Beach, Donald Glover, Tyler James Williams and the one and only Fonzworth Bentley.

Not only are these guys all actors, hip-hop artists, fashion designers and celebs, they’re also all millionaires.

Just polish those glasses or buy contacts when you can afford them, get some slim fit shirts and put on a smile.

Those’ll help deal with the haters too. I know life feels tough right now, but trust me:

You will be just fine.
