Finding Light

•PROLOGUE•

Marlena had one thing in mind, imperfection. When she looked in the mirror all she could think of was imperfection. She picked out every flaw she thought she had, but in reality, there was none.

She looked in the mirror.

"Fat. I need to lose this!" She was 98 lbs at age 13.

She pulled her pants up her legs.

"I need to be a smaller size" She was a 00

She pulled her shirt over her head and down her torso pulling the sleeves down her wrists to cover her old, and new scars.

"I'm too fat to wear this type of shirt" It was a loose sweater.

She returned to the mirror.

"I'm too ugly" She said, applying her usual layers of makeup.

But what she didn't know, was that she was beautiful and everyone could see it, except herself.

Hi hello new story. I hope you like it. This story is for my absolute favorite person in the world, Marlena (MAR•LAY•NA). She's lovely and wonderful and I actually look up to her so much. She's perfect and funny and she's helped me more than she thinks. She's strong and I love that about her. Even though she has times where she's weak and needs to talk, she has no problem showing it and getting help. ilysm Marlena <3
