They became more beautiful, they became better: how people change over the years

Designer Marilee Allred came up with the original photo project Awkward Years Project, which clearly demonstrates how people's appearance changes over time. Marilee asked her friends to find their bad school pictures and take pictures holding them. The purpose of this unusual project is to show that if in your youth you felt like a notorious ugly duckling, this does not mean that this will continue all your life. The main thing is not to feel like a loser, and over time, everything may well change. And school years are only the beginning of the path, where everything will depend only on ourselves.
