I’ve never seen this post before and it just made me tear up at my desk. You’re a complete inspiration. I was an ugly duckling too and 2010 has been my ‘swan’ year. I’ve never been happier.

It’s so sad how many people (including myself) can relate to this and I absolutely love how inspiring your writing is here! I didn’t feel attractive until I started uni in the UK because I grew up in a small country where pretty much everyone was thin and gorgeous and I just did not fit in at all. It’s only now at the age of 22 (and now I’m in a strong and loving relationship, I won’t lie, it’s helped a lot!) that I’ve started to accept my looks rather than constantly trying to change them. I love that you’ve written about this and I hope many more girls will read this and start to believe that they don’t have to feel like ‘the ugly one’ when everyone is beautiful if you look hard enough!

I love these types of posts the most. It’s okay for us all to have insecurities, we just can’t allow them to rule our lives. It’s all about coming to terms with yourself and accepting yourself as you are. Love these humble posts. Keep em coming.

I meant to comment on this story – I read it when you posted it and made a mental note to come back.

Many, many people can be described as pretty. Very few are striking. Seems to me you’ve got yourself all figured out.

I think every girl has experienced these emotions throughout their lives and it never goes away. Some days I feel beautiful and others I just can’t bear to look at myself in the mirror. I think everyone finds it difficult to see what other people see in them and to appreciate it! But the best kinds of friends and partners don’t give up, and I am lucky to have an amazing group of friends and a wonderful boyfriend
