“Superb!” Aunt Glenda clapped her arms collectively in pleasure. “Now go on. You’re heading in the right direction.”

“I see my dad’s smile.”

“Sure. You’re proper,” her eyes sparkled with hope. “And do you assume they have been losers too?”

I shook my head vehemently. Having misplaced my mother and father so younger meant that I had positioned them on a excessive pedestal. In my eyes, they have been excellent.

“So then, why do you consider your self as one?” she requested. “You carry a bit of them within you. I’m positive they’d be unhappy in the event that they discovered how poorly you consider your self.”

I gulped, my eyes fixated on my reflection.

“She’s in there someplace,” my aunt continued. “A assured, confident model of Romai. You simply must carry her out.”

“I don’t know the way to try this,” I admitted.

“It begins with simply saying type issues about your self. Should you’re continuously imply to your self, how do you anticipate others to deal with you otherwise?”

Her phrases felt like a heat blanket on a chilly night time, and I spotted that this was precisely what I wanted to listen to.

All these years, I had overwhelmed myself up for by no means being ok. Because of this, I used to be by no means in a position to confide in folks or allow them to know the actual me. The one pal I did have solely wished me round so long as I used to be snug being in her shadow.

However now I noticed that it was solely as a result of I lacked shallowness. It didn’t matter if others bullied me as a result of I used to be my very own largest bully.

“How do I cease being so arduous on myself?” I requested her, hoping that she’d have an answer.

She all the time did.

“Now that you simply’ve acknowledged that the issue lies with the way you view your self, we’re midway there,” she smiled. “Nobody could make you are feeling dangerous until you give them the ability to take action.”

“However I simply really feel like a loser,” I muttered, lastly tearing my gaze away from the mirror. “It doesn’t matter what number of constructive issues I say to myself once I simply don’t really feel like I’m ok.”

“Properly then, we simply should trick your thoughts into pondering you’re not a loser,” my aunt chuckled. “It sounds loopy. However belief me, it really works.”

“I’m not as fairly as the opposite women within the faculty. Nobody thinks I’m fascinating sufficient to take a look at. What hope do I’ve?”

“Oh, Romai. Don’t say that. You’re essentially the most stunning lady I do know. But when it’s actually one thing that bothers you, we are able to all the time offer you a makeover.”

“A makeover?” I repeated, feeling myself develop excited.

“Sure. A change in look is a good way to spice up your confidence, and fortunately for you, I’ve an amazing sense of favor,” she grinned.

I seemed down at my bitten nails and dishevelled garments. Possibly I actually did want a makeover.

“You don’t have to fret about something, Romai,” my aunt assured me. “Once I get finished with you, the children at your faculty aren’t even going to acknowledge you anymore. And that boy? He’ll be begging to get an opportunity with you.”

“Actually?” I requested Aunt Glenda uncertainly.

I didn’t need to really feel like a loser anymore and was determined to take any possibilities.
