This woman felt ugly. This woman didn’t feel worthy of existence because she was so abnormal. This woman didn’t know that she would spend years trying to make the outside match the inside.
I think the girl has felt ugly, too, and I hope she realizes how perfectly beautiful she is before she’s 37.
This newly discovered photo has brought up so many issues, I might have to start a secret blog to deal with them all.

Please, tell me where the secret blog is; I have so many issues I want to deal with too.
The woman was wrong. The girl is too.
Both have always been beautiful.
Isn’t it weird when you find an old picture of yourself, from a time when you didn’t feel pretty, and you look at it with older eyes, detached, as though it was a photo of someone else - and you think, wow, that girl’s pretty! I wonder who she is? And then you realize, omg! It’s ME!
Two pretty ladies watching something that made them smile. Nothing ugly. Nothing abnormal.
Just because you feel something doesn’t make it true. Feeling ugly doesn’t make you ugly. The truth, my friend, is that you are lovely. Inside and out.
Love and hugs.
Knyt, Fal, thank you for the gift of your words. I won’t refuse the gift by doubting their truth.
I will NEVER call myself ugly again, and neither should anyone reading this. Stop it now.
The woman and the girl are pretty. Beautiful in fact.
Sigh. We should all take your advice. I tend to see a good picture of me and think–thank goodness for the camera angle and lighting! A bad picture and I think–well, there’s the real me.
Very hard to stop thinking this way.
The girl looks like Drew Barrymore. You look as beautiful as ever.
Me? I’m getting jowls. Damn the non-smoking crap. Damn it all to hell.
Cheryl, you’re still a non-smoker, that’s awesome, possum! You may have jowls, but your lungs probably look great.
Mapelba, I’ve been the same way. I try not to look at pictures anymore, because I’m such a harsh critic. It does no good to my psyche.
Sherri, are you kidding me?? You were the prettiest girl in our music theory class and you never wore makeup!! I was so jealous of you! Looking at some of the photos you post now and then, I can tell nothing has changed.
Whatever you do, get those negative thoughts out of your head.
I second everyone else’s reply. You are both beautiful, beautiful girls.
Wow. All I see is two beautiful people. I’m glad you are happier now!!!!!
Beautiful lady, Sherri. I’ve alway thought so, and always looked up to you.
Yeah, the girl felt ugly, and still does more often than not. But there are days that I feel pretty.
hehehe Cheryl thinks I look like Drew Barrymore. I love Drew Barrymore. She’s only my favorite actress. lol.
It’s cool to be compared to her. She was a cute kid. I guess I was too. Look at my chubby cheeks!!!
