You are not ugly, not physically, not spiritually, not on any level at all. You are a very good looking person inside and out. I have never looked at your videos and thought you are ugly. So please dont say you are ugly every again, it is an insult to the Creator. I pray you can look in the mirror and see yourself how our Creator see's you. Our Creator doesnt create ugly because we are created in His image and He is not ugly, so you can't be physically ugly... it's not possible.
