a complicated relationship

Dear Nose,

I have a complicated relationship with you. You feel too big & wide and when I smile, I notice you even more. You remind me of my dad - aomething I love, but also something I struggle with becasue of how you stand out. My mom played a part in your size too, making you an undeniable family signature. People always say I look like my dad because of you, which makes me feel proud & self-conscious. Sometimes I dream of changin you but that would be changing my heritage.
