[2026原创]
Dear Laura,
When you're about 12 years old, you'll look in the mirror at your awkward face behind big blue glasses, wishing you were someone else.
You'll remember the "The Ugly Duckling" story your mum read to you. It will give you hope that maybe you'll be beautiful one day. But mostly, you'll hate the face looking back at you. Years later, you'll remember this moment and want to laugh and cry. As a 12-year-old girl, you know being pretty matters in this world, and you connect that to your worth. What you see doesn't seem good enough.
As a girl, and later as an actress (Yes, that happens!), society teaches you to care too much about looks. From childhood, you learn beauty is like money. Even though your family values being smart and good, you'll still think a pretty face matters most.
Growing older, you'll disagree with the society's beauty standards. You'll hate your face, whether people call it ugly or pretty. It feels unfair to be judged on something you can't control.
As you mature, you'll learn to be friends with yourself. It's easy to believe what others say, but we must decide who we are inside. Our beauty matters, but we choose what that means.
Sometimes, I still stare at my reflection (映像), but now I know myself better. The more I understand the person inside, the more comfortable I am with my outside.
Remember, young Laura: kindness is the most valuable thing. And glasses are cool.
Love,
Laura
