"Not the Pretty One"

I was considered "not the pretty one" of the three girls in my family. The classification forced me to lead with my personality. I learned how to talk to people..to almost anyone..custom fitting my words based on what I was able to observe of the listener. I,also, learned how to be alone. Traveling and attending flicks singularly. And I do not know if I would have discovered the contribution books have given to my life..if not had my looks been labeled. There are many days that I am grateful to have been given the title: "Not the pretty one"
