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. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xHCszGP0A

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. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6xp12D4eQ
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. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVHGl3HxDA
