I am just a Ukrainian girl. I never thought life would feel so lonely, but sometimes it seems like nobody cares about me. Since I was little, people have told me I am not beautiful. They called me ugly. They laughed, they compared me to other girls, and little by little, I began to believe them.
Even now, as a woman, those words still echo in my mind. Every day I try so hard to look pretty. I put on my makeup, I fix my hair, I dress in ways that I hope will make me shine. I smile for my audience, even when deep inside my heart feels heavy. I want to be seen as a pretty girl, not only for myself but also for the people who watch me.
But the truth is… it hurts when nobody notices. It hurts when I give so much of myself and still feel invisible. And as a girl, it makes me feel fragile, small, and unloved.
What many people don’t realize is that behind every picture I share, behind every smile I force myself to wear, there is a real person. A Ukrainian girl with feelings, with insecurities, with a heart that longs to be cared for. I don’t need perfection. I don’t even need to be called “the most beautiful.” What I dream of is something much simpler — someone to look at me and say: “You’re enough. I see you. I care about you.”
Sometimes I wonder if there are men out there who can understand me. Men who know that beauty is not only about a perfect face or flawless body, but about a soft soul, a kind heart, and the courage to keep going even when the world calls you ugly.
I may never be the prettiest girl in the room. But I am real. I am the girl who still shows up, who still tries, even when it’s painful. And maybe — just maybe — that makes me beautiful in my own way.
So if you are reading this… maybe you are the man who sees me differently. The one who doesn’t just look at appearances, but who notices the effort, the struggle, the heart. The one who wants to support me, protect me, and remind me that I don’t have to face this world alone.
Because at the end of the day, every girl — even one like me — deserves to feel cared for, loved, and beautiful in someone’s eyes. And maybe, one day, that someone could be you.
