That girl in the photo, who wears a smile upon her face with twinkles in her eyes and a skin that glows. You have no idea how she once struggled in finding herself and fighting for her many dreams. That girl in the photo, she once cried for 365 consecutive days and suffered eight years of depression. That girl in the photo, she once thought that her body was fat so she starved herself for days. That girl in the photo, she once wanted to kill herself with her bare hands and just disappear. That girl in the photo, once hated herself for the way she wasn't perfect in any aspect. That girl was a wallflower and was considered anti-social just because she was quiet. That girl in the photo, once had best friends that she loved but lost them because they left her. That girl in the photo, had parents who restricted her freedom and criticized her for being useless. That girl in the photo, had her heart broken so many times and lost herself in so many ways. You have no idea how much she cried and wanted to end her precious life. That girl in the photo, grew up and learned to love herself for who she was. And now.....ITS YOUR TURN!
