While i was looking at some more recent pictures of me, i would catch myself saying "Wow, i was actually really pretty here..."
I don't remember thinking that i was pretty when i was in middle school, or high school. I didn't believe people when they said it, and i didn't say it about myself. I just thought a lot of girls were prettier then me i guess. I think that's one of the main reasons i never really dated anyone was because of a lack of confidence in my self image.
It was weird to think back to that time, because now that i've grown up and learned more about myself and accepted it, i do think i'm a real pretty girl! It's a good feeling to believe people when they give you a compliment and say you're beautiful.
