Undecided Question

Have you ever, in your life, wished you were…?

From a different race?
In my early childhood, I grew up wishing I was white like all the other girls in class. I'm mixed race and my skin is a medium olive colour. I'd spent a few years in India, a twistedly horrible place where the beauty of a women in characterized more by the colour of her skin than her facial features or her personality.

My sister is very pale and everyone we met there told her she was beautiful, making me feel like $hit. It changed me. I hope I never go there again, but I've learned to embrace myself no matter how I look. But it's hard because although skin tone doesn't define beauty, I'm not pretty anyway.

What about you?
