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. 334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CCHm3Qvh6

Life is a little tough, but it's nothing that she can't handle. 334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr9ScRhdjg

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. 334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnZpRJsw73

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. 334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HSn2AKJKY

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. 334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHJKrQvKMy
