She was unexpressive. Sort of shy. But that did nothing with her intellect and all the potential she had. She did hesitated to share her feelings in front of the world sometimes, but she was competitive, talented and cute. Her innocence was her power. She was a little naughty and mischievous. Her parents loved her the most as she was the youngest of both the siblings she had-two sisters.

She would get jealous too if mum gave a little attention to her other siblings. But that was obvious to her, mother cannot chose from her eyes. And her daughters were the apple of her eyes. She was a good student, managed to get good grades. Talented in arts as she won several contests in her school. Her teachers liked her and expected her to become a bit more expressive of her feelings because if she did so, she would standout. Her classmates liked her too, she had the image of being a kind and generous person, having pure heart and mind with bags of potential. Overall she was pretty popular among her peers-the little pack of awesomeness. Her teachers always appreciated the way she did her hair so neatly.

She was polite. Childish in nature. Stubborn too but didn't get into querelling or whatever without a good reason. She believed in peace. But rigorous at heart, she loathed injustice. She would always take a stand for whoever she felt was prey to injustice. She had soft heart for poor. She 'd always do her best to do something for them. She had her own view of life. She knew she was mentally a philosopher.

She was pretty sure she would never have insecurities about her face or body, realtionships with the people she came across. She never cared about such things; she knew she was good enough. Everybody in the family said she is going to grow into a beautiful girl. Her parents considered her the most beautiful among her siblings, since she was born. But no one knew things were set to proceed in a different way. Things that didn't matter before became the most important in her life later. Life became upsetting and she started hating her life. People who loved her now saw her with sympathies in their eyes. She never thought she'd have to face such insecurities.

She was so ambitious. She wanted to chase perfection and do the best in life. She never wanted to do something that would make her look stupid and unattractive. She was 11, and sassy. She used to make so many efforts to always look the best of herself. Spending hours in front of the mirror, changing hairstyles, looking for the perfect one that suits her. She often got confused about the best clothes. She loved pink and everything that defined her girliness. Barbie was her favourite movie series. She watched love stories so much that she was always wondering about her prince charming who 'd come to her and take her with him.

She never thought she'd feel so ugly about herself later that she attempted to end her life. Her personality was deteriorated. She blames herself for all that happened. She is guilty of not taking enough care of herself in the long run of life where all everybody care about is what they call - 'beauty'.

Having perfect skin, fair compexion, perfect eyes, perfect and luscious lips, perfect face cut, perfect hair and be it whatever. Is it where the beauty of a person end? All the beauty of the world is limited to this? All the actresses we see and drool over, are too, prey to such societal norms.These norms have introduced the things that made the world go plastic and unnatural. Made the world fake allover and insecurities to prevail. You don't appreciate the way god created you and go on to do things like plastic surgeries, fillers to reshape your face features and what not. Society is all about wearing expensive clothes, having perfect skin, perfect everything or else you are not even born.Thats why people have invented such things to fit in this fake world which are sure blessings for some and curse for others. The sudden out burst of beauty has made this world a contest for people where they are competing to look flawless everyday.

'Imperfection is nature and nature is beautiful'
