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. 920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy81n3xkj0E

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.920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4zzzWnWnd

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. 920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODj5yXGUkf
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. 920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgvHw9PQJJ
