OH David! You are one of the most beautiful, handsome awesome people I know! Looks don't matter one bit.. yes it is what is on the inside that matters. I know where you are coming from though... our society puts way too much value on how somone looks on the outside and that is so ridiculous. Our bodies are not going to be around for long, but our souls are forever. And you, dear David, have a beautiful soul. Don't you ever forget that.

You know what David, I think you are being way too hard on yourself, and worry too much about what others think, it's the beauty inside that counts,and if people cant see that, there is something wrong with them, not you,besides God loves you, nothing else matters at the end of the day, love Elizabeth xx

Poignant introspection David! In all the battles fought, the battle to accept oneself proves to be the hardest of all for human kind. Well wriiten!

I completely get this, in fact I wrote on the subject matter yesterday. It's called Ode to an impostor. My take on the the same struggle with aging.
