Wicked Flaws

By: Colette Pfeiffer

We learn at a young age the difference between good and bad. Good makes us happy, we want more of that. Bad hurts us, brings us sadness, and we learn that we want as little of that in our lives as possible. Unfortunately, we don’t get to decide how much of each we get. We do, however, get to decide what we will do with it. We have the ability to take any hand that is dealt to us, harness its energy and use language to help us in the process. Within its definition, “wicked” means both, “evil, bad, intended to harm” and “incredibly wonderful, outstanding.” How can a word have two truly opposite definitions?

I was born with a Sacrococcygeal Teratoma, a rare birth defect occurring around one in every 40,000 births. Within hours of being born, doctors found a tumor in my coccyx. This condition causes some babies to not make it to birth. For those that do, doctors attempt to remove the tumor but when you are that little, there isn’t much to work with.  As a result, I was left with a massive scar across my backside and no right butt cheek. I was fortunate to make it through. Growing up I would repeat to myself how lucky I had been as I stared in the mirror, reminding myself that my scar was a small price to pay.

Yes, in a world of relativity, my price was small but it left a lasting impression, and somewhat of a sixth sense that one can only have when they go through life being “different.” You can feel the eyes on you, and hear the whispers spoken.The thought of summer days at the swimming pool made me cringe. As you can imagine, it is hard to conceal in a bathing suit when you are missing half of your bottom! I remember once when a mother at a pool party asked me what had happened to me, prompting the entire party of little girls to point and chant “Eew! Eew! Eew!” I thought: “What’s wrong with you, lady?!” At a young age, I understood how her comment was completely unnecessary. I also remember that one time when I came out of rehearsal to see “HALF ASS” written on the back of my car. And I remember that time when I wanted to join the high school swim team but decided against it because I knew everyone would stare at my scar in the Speedo uniforms.

High school was a tumultuous time, but it was especially hard when I tried my best to hide my missing cheek. My incredible and thoughtful mother even fashioned a prosthetic made from a shoulder pad so that I could wear it underneath my clothes. I quickly realized, however, that hiding would only work for a while. You feel it when you’re beneath that veil, a feeling like someone is always about to “catch on” to your secret….and that is no way to live.  

So in my young adulthood, I made a change. Not in myself, but in the way I viewed others’ opinions of me. I decided to embrace my scar not for the reminder of the bad that had happened, but as a reminder of how truly resilient and strong I had once been at less than 24 hours old. My scar reminds me that I have been wicked strong, wicked brave, and wicked victorious. It reminds me I am now, and have always been, just exactly who I was meant to be.

    +27672740459 EMERGENCY SPELLS FOR YOU STACKING WITH THE PROBLEM IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD.

    Only you can decide if the time to take action is now. Not tomorrow, not the next day. Now! +27672740459, babakagolo@gmail.com

    If you feel the time is running out and nothing else you have tried has worked, the Emergency spell could be your last hope. Fortunately, it has come through for many others. Hopefully, it will for you.

    As you know, in times of need, things must be done quickly. No questions asked. No wasted time. Emergency spells are cast exclusively for those in this situation. They are cast for those who have run up against a brick wall. They are cast for those who have learned they can’t count on anyone else to solve their very serious problems.

    They are cast for those who know a better life is around the corner and are willing to go the extra step to get what they want. +27672740459, babakagolo@gmail.com

    If this is how you feel, you have come to the right place.
    You should order this spell if:
    • Your situation is dire and you have nowhere to turn.
    • No one but you seems to care.
    • The more time passes, the more desperate your situation is.
    • With each passing day, you feel more helpless – a feeling there is nothing else you can do.
    • But in your heart, you know that what you want, what you need, what you feel is right. https://sites.google.com/view/voodoospellcaster/home

    If you feel the above words have been directed specifically toward you, do not procrastinate. Do not delay. Take a look at the specific Emergency spells below and determine which one(s) are right for you.

    BREAK THEM UP NOW SPELL

    Directed toward that couple who should not be together. In your heart, you know they are not right for each other. In reality, you are merely speeding up the process, for in the long run, they will eventually break apart anyway.

    RESTORE MY LIFE NOW SPELL

    Return to happier, less complicated days surrounded by people who love you. If you are on the outs with a good friend, or family member, or a past lover, it is never too late to restore the good feeling and love you once had.

    CANCEL MY ENEMIES NOW SPELL

    Rid yourself of that nemesis. Expel this person from your life and redirect their negative energy back at them. If there is someone who is bothering you, trying to do you wrong, trying to make you look bad…have this emergency spell cast against them and watch their attitude change before your very eyes.

    LUCK STREAK SPELL

    You have witnessed other people having lucky streaks that seem to last and last. You are envious of it and rightly so. So, now you don’t want to wait any longer – you want to experience this for yourself. This emergency spell allows you to turn the tide, bring things to you when you least expect them and enjoy life to the fullest. Why shouldn’t it be you who gets all the breaks? And so many others.

    So, if your financial situation is looking more and more like a catastrophe… Or an important relationship is careening off its intended path, and you can’t bear to think of the consequences, don’t give up.

    There is hope. There is something you can do! +27672740459, babakagolo@gmail.com

    Perhaps you’re tired of having money slip through your fingers, and you’re frustrated by watching others reap the rewards you deserve. Or perhaps you’ve tried everything to bring meaningful love and lovemaking back into your life, only to be disappointed once again.

    If so, now is the time to consider turning to someone who could summon powers beyond your own reach, beyond your limited psychic capabilities. You can ask this gifted psychic to cast a powerful Witchman’s spell in your behalf.

    So, if your pocketbook is near empty, or your love life is approaching rock bottom, ask a skilled psychic Baba Kagolo to summon the forces that could stop the downward spiral and make your life joyful and happy and successful once again. You deserve it.

    Hi peeps. My name is Christine Allen and I have had tough and horrible experiences in my past relationships and I indeed waited till I met my husband and after we met, we fell in love and got married. After two years of our Union, he changed and started acting weird and eventually left me and our son. I Did all I could to get him back but all was fruitless. I came in contact with the comments and what everyone was saying about Dr Isikolo. I reached out to him and he responded and gave me his best effort and support to make my marriage work again. He was the one who made it known to me that my husband was taken from me by another woman and he cast a love reunion spell that reunited us back together and he came back home to me and my boy. Indeed no one out there has lied about Dr Isikolo and his good works. My husband came back home 48 hours after he did the work for as promised. Reach out to him now and be assured he will help you. You will have to text him on WhatsApp him on +2348133261196 or review his website (https://isikolo-temple.com)
