#493 When that zit growing on your forehead suddenly just disappears

Acne is not our friend.

Blackheads multiply, whiteheads spread, and pimples pop up before prom, people. Yes, our silky smooth skin gets junked up with oily messes as we’re straightening ties and squeezing into prom dresses. Baby, whether you’re rocking Forehead Volcanos, The Rudolph Nose, or a full on Pizza Face, we’ve all been there and we know it ain’t pretty and we know it ain’t fun.

But that’s what makes it great when those bumpy omens of zits to come sometimes just disappear overnight.

Oh sure, you scoped that new baby zit in the mirror last night and you tucked it nice and tight into bed. Yes, you thought you’d wake up with it burning nice and bright smack dab in the middle of your forehead.

But instead … it’s just gone, gone, gone away.

Never to be heard from again.

AWESOME!

“Dear Neil, a few weeks ago I logged on to complete my favorite Sunday ritual.  After reading Postsecret, I saw where Frank mentioned The Book of Awesome.  I logged into your website and after reading a few hours I ordered your book. This past weekend, I went to see my girlfriend and was excited to see her.  But the weekend was horrible and I cried the three hours home. When I got there, I was so excited to see your book had come, but was still feeling the depression that follows a breakup.  Now I am happy to say that everytime I want to cry, I open your book and read.  I have laughed, cried, and felt better than I have in a long time.  Thank you so much for giving me something to look forward to.” -Brittanie
