By the time I turned 27, I decided to write down my thoughts and the unfairness faced by a girl without good looks in the search for true love.

1. Childhood Memories…

From a young age, I realized I wasn’t as pretty as other girls my age. I had dark skin, frizzy hair, and an unbalanced face. Every time I looked in the mirror, I saw a shy and insecure little girl.

As a child, I didn’t care much about my appearance. But things became harder when I reached my teenage years. Even my own mother worried that I might never get married, that no one would ever want me. I used to believe that supporting my parents, having a career, and finding happiness were the most important things in life.

The teasing and mocking from friends and relatives about my looks made me feel even more inferior and withdrawn. I always wondered if anyone could ever love someone like me.

2. The High School Years…

Time went by, and I entered high school—the time I felt most insecure and lonely. The girls in my class often received attention from boys, while I was always left out. By grade 11, most girls had boyfriends or had dated someone, except for me—I was the only one who hadn’t.

I didn’t have many friends, and I felt like I didn’t belong anywhere. I was just a shadow, always standing behind others.

Many questions are around in my mind. I wasn’t the ugliest girl in class, so why was I still alone?

Despite everything, I remained stubborn. I decided to reinvent myself. I started using skincare and hair products daily. Every month, I searched for new hairstyles and new clothes.

3. My Tearful First Love…

I also began to flirt with a few guys. And there was one who responded. He was my first love. He was smart and kind—someone who saw beauty in me beyond physical appearance. We became close friends, and gradually, I started to develop feelings for him. However, my first love was broken up when he started dating another girl at our school—a beautiful girl that everyone admired.

Heartbroken and hurt, I cried countless nights, wondering if love would ever smile upon someone like me. I foolishly gave my heart to someone who didn’t deserve it.

4. Love Finally Came…

When I entered university, I hoped for a new start. I decided to change myself—to care more about my appearance and health. Though I still wasn’t a pretty girl, I had learned how to look neat and feel more confident.

There, I met him—a classmate. He wasn’t just smart and funny but also incredibly kind. He was always willing to help others and had a positive outlook on everything. We gradually became close friends, studying and sharing life stories together.

One rainy afternoon, we sat together at a small coffee shop near campus. Suddenly, Minh told me he liked me. I was shocked and overjoyed, but also very anxious. I couldn’t understand why someone like him would like a girl like me.

Though I was doubtful at first, over time, I realized his feelings were genuine. He didn’t care about how I looked but appreciated the qualities inside me—sincerity, kindness, and passion for my work. He encouraged me, helped me become more confident, and made me believe that I deserved to be loved.

We started dating and created many beautiful memories together. Every day with him, I felt that true love wasn’t about appearances but about understanding and mutual respect. He helped me see myself differently and taught me how to love myself.

Together, we overcame many challenges. We proved that true love isn’t tied to physical appearance. Even though many people didn’t understand us, we always believed in and supported each other. Our love became a great source of strength that helped me grow stronger and achieve many successes in life.

During university, I witnessed many broken relationships where beauty only attracted guys who “loved with their “eyes”—which led to short-lived infatuations rather than genuine love.

5. Stories Around Us…

Another story I want to share is about a close friend of mine. She also didn’t have a standout appearance and often felt insecure about herself. However, she was always optimistic and full of energy. She constantly helped others and brought joy to everyone around her. One day, she met a guy, and they quickly became friends.

Over time, they realized they had many things in common and began dating. This proved once again that true love doesn’t come from outer beauty but from the soul and the connection between two people.

I believe that everyone has their own value and deserves to be loved. True beauty comes from the soul and the good things we bring into life. Be confident and stay true to the path you’ve chosen. You are the one who decides your worth—and no one can take that away from you.

6. Finding My Self-Worth…

Over time, I realized that true love comes from the heart, not from outward appearances. I began participating in more social activities, writing more, and inspiring others with my stories. I want to spread the belief that everyone deserves to be loved, regardless of how they look.

My story may not be perfect, but it is proof that true love isn’t based on looks. What matters most is being confident, loving yourself, and constantly striving to be your best self. When you shine from within, you’ll attract those who genuinely appreciate and love you for who you are.

Though I’m still young, I believe that physical beauty often creates more challenges in finding real love—and even causes distractions at work due to emotional entanglements.

I believe that a modern woman doesn’t need to be exceptionally beautiful. She only needs enough strength to rise above physical charm and she will succeed.
