I wasn’t beautiful. I knew that. Hearing everyone tell you how beautiful your sister is, nails in that fact. It also didn’t help that other parents used to tell my mother that I wasn’t poised, elegant, neat or put together like Emma was

“Yes, you are…you’re the only one who doesn’t see it. All you need is a confidence boost and I
