"What changed? What Happened?"
They ask it like its simple
like the answer will be a sentence long
If I were really being honest
I would say;
"I opened my eyes. I saw the world for what it was. Prejudice. I saw the people for who they were. Flawless. I saw me for what I was. Imperfect. I discovered that the only way you are loveable in this world by a man is by looking perfect. Perfectly clear skin, perfectly proportioned face and most of all perfectly weighted body. From then on I constantly made that my priority. Making sure nobody could laugh at me for how I look. Having people wish they looked like me. Having people tell me I looked good. I figured out how to dress like everyone else, what trends were popular, what moisturizer made my skin the softest, which blush had the best effect on my face, how to draw fake freckles. All of that just for me to look in the mirror at the end of the day and not recognise who I saw. Not love who I saw. Wonder if I'll ever love who I saw. Who I see."
But instead I smile
I push my shoulders back
I suck in and say
'I grew up.'
