Interesting question !
Ever since I was a young girl I’ve always been told how pretty I was , then as I hit my teens
boys and men started fawning over me . I was young , didn’t understand the power of it ;
Oh to have my today’s knowledge and wisdom when I was 20 years old lol !
: At home I was told I was ugly , stupid , and many other bad things a child , an innocent young girl
should not be told or talked to and about in such ways - that was family ;
Mom died when I was young and got an evil stepmother ; it left its mark .
So I never understood what other people saw in me as far as beauty ; I always strived to have my
strengths elsewhere : be smart , clever , excel in school ; I was born / or became a kind person .
To this day , when I look in the mirror I don’t necessarily see my own attractiveness though
many attest to it

, but rather see the qualities I developed and I am proud of .
That is what I see in My mirror .
