Facially Deformed but still Fantastic

Hey guys. I’m Al, I have a lymphatic malformation on my face that is sometimes incredibly painful and essentially looks and feels like I got sucker punched, but idk I’m taking it day by day and some days are better than other. Unfortunately today is not one of the great days and I’m debating on whether I want the physical pain of a mask today or the emotional pain of not wearing one and being asked what’s wrong with my face ( At a place where Covid spread is almost non-existent ). If there are any other friends out there with facial deformities/abnormalities/differences I’d love to get to know y’all :)
