50 Beautiful Photos Of People Appreciating Their Unique Genes And Physical Appearances
Clearly, some people are born with genes that set them apart from the rest of us.

Accepting yourself as you are and coming to terms with your appearance can take years to achieve. Our genes determine our physical appearance and even our personalities, though environmental factors such as upbringing, education, and friends can also have an impact on who we are.
Genes are information units that living things pass down to their offspring. Genes contain information that is coded to produce proteins that shape our physical appearances and personalities.
Some people are born with genes that set them apart from the rest of us. However, some people are born with genes that make them have shortcomings compared to average individuals or even look entirely different from others.
Because of this disparity, getting through the day can be much more difficult. That's why it's so inspiring to see people who aren't afraid to show their skin or accept their overall physical appearance.
