At least it's easier than being someone else

One-sidedly, this girl looks a bit like me, but I think the heroine is prettier when she has a pig nose. When can I say from the bottom of my heart, "But I don't want to be the new me, I like the current me"? The only thing I am not satisfied with is that the curse is broken too suddenly and too strangely. This kind of change is not an epiphany, it can't be like a fantasy transformation, it is obviously a slow journey that is difficult and forgiving. She lost and came back again and again; she denied, affirmed, and denied again; she was frightened, but always insisted on being proud. When she woke up one day, she suddenly looked in the mirror and found that her pig nose was gone, or maybe she was riding a bicycle on her way to become a gardening teacher, but she didn't realize that she was no different from any beautiful girl.
