As she was a little girl, her mommy always told her she was beautiful and perfect just the way she is, as she grew older, she learned she was nothing close to what mommy has said, she would look in the mirror and began to cry, you would pull at the skin of her body, she would stare at her reflection for hours crying hoping to be perfect like the other girls she knows, but one day she fell in love, this guy she loved told her she was beautiful, she never believed him, four years later he left her and she no longer cared. She would eat and eat for days and then starve for weeks, until one day, her daddy came for a visit, he said dear what are you doing to yourself, she said daddy I'm trying to be beautiful and perfect for mommy again, she let the words get to her, she let the thoughts get to her head, she let the voices from the past beat her down...but her daddy looked her in the eyes and said "baby girl, you are beautiful and perfect, your my beautiful daughter, your my perfect sweet baby girl" he would say to her. She would look him in the eyes, and she would slowly begin to cry, she whispered, "thank you daddy."
