I'm heavy. but i find judging eyes much heavier than me. I'm Rafaela Rivera and I'm sixteen years old. I don't consider myself an orbed, but I look too little like those models on television or magazines. I get tired of listening "You have a gorgeous face" while they probably think "What a pity body". Even though some people had told me: "If you lose some pounds, you will look like a goodness". I admit that my face is somehow pretty, but i would like to find an advantage about having wide hips.

     I know the advantages of being skinny to the bone. "thin as a gun" just like my grandma always says. I know it because I have two perfect examples in my own house; examples i can't even being compare with; my mother and my sister. My grandma also, but she doesn't live with us.

     I get tired of watching my friends dancing in the club, while holding against the idea that i would look ridiculous if i do the same. I don't have any relation with males. No boyfriends, no friends, nothing basically.

     Besides, I'm shy. And quiet. The things I enjoyed can't be shared with my loved ones. I like books, cinema, theater and some other fancy stuff. But above everything in the word, I love my violin ever since the day it fell on my hands after my dad had left us. "Dad played the violin just like gods", my mom says every time she agrees to talk about him.

     I don't go clubbing very oftenly. I don't do it because I like to be pushed by many people, or being observed by many people. I don't like showing myself, neither being observed.
