Blue :
I can relate a lot
when I was a teenager, I was VERY handsome, it was like I was a movie star men women and children would stare at me. I developed bad molar teeth at 19, had to extract them.
for those who don't know, your teeth are VERY VERY VERY important to jaw structure, even tho I had all my remaining teeth, because the molars was missing, my jaw slowly shrunk, this changed my face SO MUCH my handsomeness basically went.
I grew a beard to try and cover it, and I'm the only person my age with a beard like mine, I don't even know grown men with beard like mine.
after years of it I kinda appreciated the Sunnah. what I realised tho, as Im mid twenties, I have experienced the most testosterone I have ever had, and there are BEAUTIFUL non muslim women in my uni class that would try go out their way to speak to me despite big beard (still some handsomeness left ig)
I know that if I didn't have facial collapse, I wouldn't have had this beard, and I KNOW for a fact I would've probably fallen into zina, which I never have done
sometimes you are experiencing evil of this life, but it could be a blessing too, not just because it prevented you doing haram, but Allah could've afflicted you with something else instead, and despite everything I gotten used to my life like this now and rather get tested like this than other things such as iman
