Each days she wakes up the same. She looks in the mirror at the disappointment that is her figure.
"I wish I were... different" she says sighing.
"Julia, your breakfast is ready! Get down here before you make me and yourself late!! I have a very important meeting today and if I miss it because I had to drive my daughter to school then, we'll both be grounded!!"
"Coming, Mom," she sighs again.
She gets out of bed and attempts to put something together that will be acceptable to wear in her mother's standpoint. After looking for like three minutes she ends up finding a green sweater that she got from Goodwill the year before and some high waisted dark blue jeans. She brushes her hair and teeth, doing a bit of makeup just to help minimize the "ugly troll with a resting bitch face" and all that jazz before she feels like she's ready. She grabs her backpack that she packed the night before and grabs her phone, earbuds, and her song writing book.
"Time for another day in hell I guess," she says checking herself in the mirror one last time as she heads downstairs to leave.
