[quote=Anonymous]Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I was not considered beautiful at all in school, which really damaged my self-esteem.
Once, during a school holiday, all of my class went to the sea (Europe, it was a thing), and they had a beauty contest. My sister came with my class, and she signed up to compete. I was thinking about it too. I heard the HS camp counselors talk outside our cabin about what I was thinking, wanting to even suggest competing. I was in 5th grade, mind you, at that time.
(it ended up being a beauty competition where they had to produce the longest peeled potato skin, lol, and I would have won that one!)

I was a typical brown-haired, brown-eyed kid, and my sister had that baby face and striking blue eyes. I don't think I was ugly, but she was striking, and everyone compared me to her.
Now, I am happy. I have been married for 30 years in a wonderful marriage, with two grown kids, and today, most people consider me a pretty good-looking woman. In my 20s, once I moved to the U.S., I started noticing a change in how people saw me, beauty-wise. But they did not have a comparison base with my sister.
After one visit to see my family, my DD said she didn't understand why everyone was going crazy over my sister's looks; DD said she found my looks more beautiful and classic.
So, this ugly woman's life turned out pretty awesome.
