You are not the problem, society is
November 24, 2019
She looked in the mirror for the fifth time this hour
Negative comments about her body came crawling out of it
After weeks of starving herself she still see’s a pathetic overweight girl who will do anything for beauty
Her eyes swelled with tears as she wondered who decided to give her this body that she feels so utterly and completely lost in
What terrifies her the most is that if she’s not enough for herself, she will never be good enough for someone else
