My sister has always been the pretty one, she has always been the guys want and she has always been skinnier than me, That doesn't mean I'm fat, it doesn't mean no guy will ever want me and it doesn't mean I'm ugly. It just means that my sister and I are beautiful in our own way, we are different and the men we end up spending our lives with will love us for our hearts, not the way we look. Our hearts are amazing, our looks are just a bonus.
Growing up I was always jealous of my baby sister. She weighed 92 pounds growing up while I was in the 150's. She was popular in High School and I was the loser. She was great at everything while I seemed to **** at everything. I hated her. I hated myself and I wanted to be her. Growing up you find out what makes you so unique and I found that I write which is something she doesn't do. One night my sister and I had a talk and she began telling me how she wish she had my *****, my hour glass figure and sense of humor. I told her how I wished I looked like her. I had no idea that over the years all the things I hated about myself she wanted and loved and vice versa. We get compared a lot based on our looks when there is so much more to us. After that conversation we shared I made a promise to myself to appreciate the features I have and to stop comparing myself to someone who is just like me, maybe not look wise but personality wise. I'm learning to live in my own skin. I learning to love me.
