“My body isn't perfect I don't walk with confidence. I get into fights with my parents and friends. some nights I'd rather be by myself then out partying. I cry over the smallest things sometimes. there are days that I get though with forced smiles and fake laughs. sometimes I try to convince myself that things are okay when they are not. I am not ugly but I am not beautiful. I don't look as good in pictures then I do in real life. there are some night I cry myself to sleep. I constantly think I am not good enough. I'm imperfect, but I am perfectly me.”
