6 years old:
Blue ribbon, silk ribbon, streaming through my hair. Ponytail, toothless smile; mirror, am I pretty yet?

10 years old:
Ponytail, bobby pins, taming my messy hair. Chubby thigh, crooked smile; mirror, am I pretty yet?

14 years old:
Straight hair, lipstick, mascara running down my face. Trembling knees, broken smile; mirror am I pretty yet?

16 years old:
Messy bun, chapped lips, sobbing eyes, bloody wrists. Bony thighs, fake smile; mirror am I pretty yet?
