How to use "Ugly" in context?
"ugly" is not a word people commonly associate with happiness. But for some, it is a word that best describes their sense of self. To them, ugly is honest, raw, and authentic. It is not constrained by societal pressures or what others might expect. Divergent beauty philosophies encourage people to celebrate their unique "ugliness." For some, this can be a liberating experience, giving them a sense of self-acceptance and confidence. Others see it simply as a challenge to create beauty within themselves. Whatever the case may be, the message is clear- beautiful is not always perfect, and ugly is not always wrong.
