I would have to say it depends on the day. I still fight old demons in my head. I spent most of my childhood being told that I wasn't beautiful. There was a sort of understanding that I was the smart one and my sister was the pretty one. We have both struggled long and hard to break free of those perceptions. Most days I feel that I am a beautiful person inside. It is rarely that I feel beautiful on the outside but I try to maintain an "act as if" philosophy. If I act as if I feel beautiful, I will start to believe it. (Just as I was conditioned to believe otherwise) Its been somewhat successful although, self improvement is a process, not an event. Time can only tell.
This isn't my post, but I just wanted to say that I hope you succeed in turning those perceptions around indefinitely. You're an EXTREMELY attractive young lady.
