Staying Awake At Night
6 months ago
One of my peers told me once that a boy in the grade above us thought I was ‘the most f-ing ugly person he’d ever seen.”
And everyone said how mean it was, but no one said it wasn’t true.
Since then, I can’t believe anyone when they say I’m pretty, because that’s just what people say when they want to make it look like they care about you. So it would be really nice to be able to accept that I’m pretty.
Yeah. Right. Does anyone really believe that? Except my mom… who’s probably lying too? What’s it like to get up in the morning and not be afraid of what people think of you?
