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.

    Lying next to your partner is the best feeling that you wouldn’t trade for anything else in the whole universe. When your Chakras connect, and you make sacrifices willingly for each other.

All of a sudden, you blink, and the person you made dying promises to is now your ex because you just drifted apart or someone else got involved with them.

    For the record, settle and focus on ensuring the decision to go to a spell caster to get ex back is what you are up for. While on the Internet, be keen not to fall prey to a scam or carry out an uninformed spell on your own. It may be catastrophic and end up summoning desperate clutches, anger, frustration, and further drift for you and your lover: instead, choose the legitimate spell casters to help you because you are a winner, so don’t play a losing game.
    Why Disappointments Grace Your Way!
    I am guessing you are not new to disappointments from spell casters online. But why does this seem to happen to you when there are real spell casters? Please note that knowledge and experience are a great deal in the profession. So, finding a professional spell caster to work is key to restoring your lost love relationship.
    I sought help from an online loves spell caster and acquired the talismans requested of me and really believed, waited patiently, and worked off my charm. In my case, Spell caster Maxim is a powerful voodoo spell caster. The secret for genuine spell casters is knowing to work your way around summoning the proper high powers and communicating with them. These high powers are highly selective and respond according to the limits of real voodoo spell casters and their capacities based on specific laws of physics. Whenever these laws are defied, the higher powers are provoked and unleash punitive consequences upon the seeker.
    Given that you are already here seeking help from higher powers, it would be wise to leave their wrath unprovoked by seeking legit spell casters. It is the one thing you can always be sure to count on for your potent love spell. You also have to understand that there is a small fee which wouldn’t even compare to your love and happiness.
