Once flawless skin has become covered in adolescent marks at the age of twelve. But she keeps looking in the mirror, seeing other parts of her that are still very pleasing. 952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMyxhepywN
Her eyes still sparkle; that sense of youth twinkling like stars in the night sky.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8lhYgBEN4
Life is a little tough, but it's nothing that she can't handle. 952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO3RKHYCMu
She continues to look in mirrors, grasping on to her self-esteem while others try to put her down. She won't let anyone tell her that she's unattractive. She doesn't believe them.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5zvj7ZFIw

Those were just some of the words she was called in High School at the age of seventeen. But in her mind, she's telling herself that she's beautiful, that what people say don't bug her. In reality, it's starting to get to her. 952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0LVOTf6pV
The constant noise of social media telling girls how they should look and act has become a virus; spreading from female to female. But she won't be like them. She won't give in to the false pretense of what beauty is.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35JHlAsZum

Twenty years old, she's living with some roommates; women who have their own independent thinking. They see the way she acts, the way she constantly looks in the mirror after classes. Hearing words she says to them, about how they're just like every other girl; fake. 952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHdJCXWUuQ
They ask why she thinks like that; why she thinks that every girl is fake. She speaks of experience. She says that looking in mirrors and seeing how she looks keep her from giving in to false beliefs of beauty. Mirrors are her friends. 952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoRxZk6YYz
