In April 2014, what began as a routine stop at the cash machine for one woman in Wirral, United Kingdom, turned into a moment of unexpected bravery.

Amber had sworn off romance. Years of failed relationships had left her guarded, convinced that love was nothing but a cruel illusion. Friends tried to set her up, her father encouraged her to “give it another shot,” but she’d decided life was easier without the risk of another broken heart. That resolve began to crumble…
A new image sweeping across social media is promising to uncover your “worst flaw” — all based on the first animal you spot. At first glance, the illustration looks like a person’s face.
