Elle Barnes is at war with society. Who isn't? She's always dressed a little different, acted a little different and, well, looked a little different. For some reason, society doesn't see these differences as individual beauties, but as irreversible, undeniable flaws. When you're told every day that the way you look, the people you love, and the way you dress is wrong, then it becomes a little difficult to love yourself the way you deserve. So, naturally, Elle Barnes decides to take a stand and try to change the world by wearing odd shoes. One purple and one pink. Groundbreaking.

However, when Elle is offered a potentially life-changing opportunity, she is faced with a choice. Bend to society's rules by taking up the opportunity, despite its potentially life-ruining risks? Or continue her odd shoe wearing ways, breaking society's rules one by one? With her closest friends, of course, and that one girl from her university's LGBTQ society who was totally not flirting with her. Was she?

A story of realising your true beauty, and helping others to realise theirs.

Have you ever felt so broken that you couldn't pull yourself out of bed and continue to live your life like you used to. A simple task such as tying your shoes already seems like a huge burden on your account. Struggling with yourself because everything around you doesn't matter anymore. That's mainly because she broke my heart. Who knew love could turn a person around. Who knew love would hurt this bad. Who knew love can make you feel numb. A simple word yet it has an enormous impact in everyone's life. Everything happens for a reason, and I'm not blaming it all on her, though there are things you just wish you could take back and redo because of the feeling it gave you. And because of those traumatic event, I turned into a complete opposite of me. Well, that's until I met...her. You'd think that I've learned my lesson but she's different. I'm that cold-hearted until she drop down here on earth and save my miserable, sorry ass. A girl who doesn't know how to give up. A girl who's filled with happiness in a way that if you stare at her, there's this feeling you can't explain and it just lightens your mood. A girl who's friends with everyone because of her pure and innocent soul. A girl that can certainly light up a god d*mn world with her personality. ... And a girl who made me feel again. A girl who made me fall in love again. A girl who made me forget all the things that I've been through because she made my present more than just worth living, and my future to be worth looking forward to. And she made me fall in love with her harder than anyone did. Harder than anybody could. And I wouldn't mind to fall over and over again if at the end of the line, she's there to catch me.
