We are all ugly ducklings

We are all ugly ducklings, waiting for transformation. One day, when we have transformed, we will miss the days of the ugly duckling.

She never expected that her ex-boyfriend would contact her. Ten years have passed since then.

Ten years, a long ten years. Ten years is enough to change a person, whether it is appearance or heart.

So, memories flooded.

At that time, she was still young, seventeen or eighteen, the same age as a flower. Not obsessing about worldly affairs, simply forgetting about things.

My hair has just started to grow, but I have never been very good at dressing up. I always wear a loose T_ and flat shoes, which make my original petite figure look even more petite.

Without any culture, like many ordinary girls, she went away to work in a foreign country. What a stubborn woman she is. Her father feels sorry for her daughter and refuses to let her go out, but she still insists on going. I worked in many factories, worked on the assembly line, worked as a clerk, and worked as a statistician, and finally I was lucky enough to get a job as a kindergarten teacher.

Her work is as simple as she is. Yes, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old will become a blank slate after all.

They met through the Internet. Short-term love may not be considered love at all. After all, it was only two months from the time they met to the time they separated, which was not enough time to cause any major harm to her.

She only remembered that she cried a lot, because after all, this was her first time interacting with the opposite sex. After that, it was over.

She was glad that she cut the knot quickly, because he was not her type after all.

She didn't feel any love from him, maybe only pickiness. After just five days of meeting, he said she was lazy and she was speechless.

After his repeated requests, she rushed to Shenzhen to find him, just because of his words: "I am really busy and can't leave." But she did not receive any gifts from him, not even one. Simple rose flower.

After that, she replied. She said, break up. He should. Then he looked for her again, but she never came back.

A short love experience made her grow up instantly. Although she also remembered his good things, cooking for her, drying her hair (he was a hairstylist), and writing down the text messages she sent him one by one in a notebook. But those were too small and insufficient, and they never called.

Many years later, she truly understood a truth. A very real problem. To see if a man really loves you, you must see if he is willing to spend money for you.

Many years later, she realized that if a girl wants to find someone who truly loves her, she should never be too proactive.

It was only after many years that she understood that a person who truly loves himself will not care about his own shortcomings. But you have to learn to be a better version of yourself for the other person.

From then on, she was determined to wait for the rabbit and play deep.

She was lucky. Two years later, she met a man who chased her crazily.

She doesn't call him, but he calls often.

When she returned to her hometown, she was at the subway entrance in the cold winter. In the early morning, he got up very early and took the bus for more than an hour to pick her up.

Walking with her from street to street, watching her try on clothes, and her cute look in the mirror always made him smile happily.

On Valentine’s Day, I will give her a bunch of red roses. He is actually a rough man with a delicate mind. He knows how to be romantic and make girls happy.

He would stop drinking for her. He was already too drunk. On a cold winter day, while he was driving his motorcycle, he asked her to put her hands in his pockets.

During this period, she didn't buy anything for him or give him any gifts, but he bought her a lot.

He is not a rich man, but he is willing to give up for her.

Women always need love to nourish them. In fact, they don't ask for much. A warm embrace, a caring word, and a simple action are enough to make her feel at ease.

And he persisted in doing this for seven years. They got married, fell in love for one year, and were married for six years.

There were some minor quarrels after marriage, but their relationship remained the same.

She always feels how lucky she is, but many people don't see that she has been working hard.

She worked hard to learn about clothing matching and makeup. Now she is the mother of a three-year-old child. However, many people say that she is more beautiful than before giving birth to the child.

She thinks so too.

He has always said that the most honorable thing for him is marrying a beautiful wife. Yes, who doesn’t want his wife to dress up beautifully and make him look pretty? She understands this very well. However, the most important thing is to be happy, so why not?

She has always refused to be a lazy woman and insists on skin care. After having a child, she became a stay-at-home mother, taking care of the child and the family's daily life, but she never allowed herself to be sloppy.

She never gives up her interests and hobbies. She likes reading and writing. She has always wanted to work hard to be a showy woman, because she always understands that no matter how beautiful the appearance is, it will be blown away over time, and what will eventually settle is the words and the heart.

She always likes to write something. Over the past year, she found that what she wrote was getting better and better. In this way, she gained more confidence.

Books and words make her quiet, and time makes her mature. In ten years, she has really changed a lot.

In this case, when her ex-boyfriend greeted her, she was completely confused.

He didn't tell her who he was before. she asked. He only said one thing, ten years ago, you were in Dongguan and I was in Shenzhen. She understood.

She wanted to scold him, but she didn't mean to hate him, but that silly experience always made her feel unhappy.

She still said to him generously, thank you. After all, he didn't hurt her in the first place.

Then, she typed again: "I'm living a good life now, and we'd better not contact each other in the future."

He replied that it wasn't like he was having an affair, and he was afraid of chatting. ah. She didn't answer. She really couldn't chat with someone who didn't even care about her.

Ten years, ten years is a long time, but it seems like a blink of an eye.

She still remembers a girl ten years ago who simply forgot about everything.

She felt a little nostalgic and a little distressed.

A girl who works hard for her dreams is always on the road, step by step, either hard or lucky. The bitterness, spicyness, sourness and sweetness in it are only known to Wei.

She is nostalgic, but people always have to learn to give up something and then pick up something.

Ten years later, she is no longer the same person she was ten years ago. She has already transformed now. She did not dare to exaggerate and say that she had changed from a caterpillar to a butterfly, from an ugly duckling to a swan. But along the way, she did gain too much confidence and happiness.

Every choice and abandonment is a transformation. Have you ever asked yourself: "What kind of woman do you want to be?"

In fact, she has always understood and has been working hard. .

Although it was still far, far away from her eyes, she could feel that it was getting closer.

Perhaps there is always the shadow of an "ugly duckling" in everyone's heart. They always feel that they have some shortcomings, so they work hard to make some changes. When we change and feel that we are close to perfection, we will still miss our former pure self.

If you feel tired, take a rest. May this world only have beauty and no harm.
