You see, in Canada, I hardly thought about my looks. I had my family and friends. I was healthy, going outside to play a lot, and I was happy.
But I started becoming more aware of my looks when I visited Taiwan after living abroad for so long.
Because here’s the thing…
Taiwanese people are blunt. They’re quick to point out if you’ve gained weight, lost weight, got acne, insert any insecurities you have, straight to your face.
So whenever I saw my relatives, they, without fail, commented on my looks.
