Unseen

This is what I am

This is my first story, so sorry for any mistakes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm Sariah Parker. My parents are happily married and we have an everyday house. I'm an only child. I don't have any special talents and I don't play any instruments, but I do sing. Even though I would never let anyone hear me, I'm in my schools chorus. It's kind of weird how I can't sing in front of anyone, but I can go up with my chorus just fine. I don't have the perfect body. I have extra weight, but I try to hide it from people. I have scars like many people do and my hair is not perfectly curled or straight. I Straighten my hair everyday because I hate my natural hair like many people do.

Everyday I see pictures in magazines of thin women and always wonder how different my life would be if I looked like that. I am aware that those models do not even look like that, but it still hurts seeing them. I don't do a lot of things just because I don't want to be seen. I like swimming, but I could never wear a bathing suit. I often don't walk into stores because there's people in there.

I have two best friends. Ella has been there for me since we were little kids. We can just sit in a room and have a good time. My other best friend is Ava. I met Ava online. I know they always say don't talk to strangers, but that's how I found her. If anyone has an online friend, they understand. Ava is from another country and I hope to meet her soon. I do have other friends, but most of the I only talk to in school and message outside of school.

Every day I hope to find a guy that I like and he likes me back. Don't we all? I live a fairly normal life. But then again, what is normal? Is there even a normal.

Many people ask the question, "how do I get them to notice me?" This is a struggle for a lot of people. We are the unseen people.
