"I was that kid. I was that kid with the chubby cheeks. The one with the messy hair. The one who wasn't scared to say what she was thinking. The one who wore mismatched clothes. I was that kid in elementary school. I was that kid. I was that kid with slightly less chubby cheeks. The one who no longer spoke out loud. The one who cared about every single strand of hair and its placement. The one who dressed slightly better. I was that kid in middle school. I was that kid. I was that kid with the skinny face and body. The one who was silent and had headphones plugged in. The one who fixed her hair and makeup everyday. The one who always wore long sleeves now. I was that kid in high school. I was that kid who never lived to graduate."
