Love this! I also so relate to having had a significant “unattractive” phase around 12-13: braces and a red, curly mullet hairstyle 🤦🏼♀️. My ugly duckling years, for sure. I was insecure about my appearance, but confident in academic and athletic pursuits. As I’m about to turn 50 in a month (🙀), I also agree that my confidence has grown and changed through the years. I got a significant boost around 40, when I started truly having zero fucks to give about what anyone thought of me 😹. So liberating!
Roar, girl. Roar! xo
