So close to Perfect

I was almost perfect. I was so close to perfect. So why did it feel so far away? A few pounds too heavy, an inch too short, did it really matter? Apparently it did. I was so close to perfect. I was almost perfect.
But at the same time I couldn't be farther away.

How Random Can A Life Go?
This write-up isn't a made-up story. It's a real story that happened with me. And I really feel like this, what happened to me in real life, is actually better than many made-up stories that are available everywhere around.

My Diary
This is my real life and real situations. I hope you all enjoy.
Two hearts equal one LOVE.
Sitting by myself, my feet stuck in the cool water of the little stream, I tried, for the ten millionth time, to reason out why I had to have these problems. I was just a normal everyday kid, no better, no worse than most. I didn't do drugs, I didn't smoke or drink. I worried about my grades and my lack of six pack abs and if I was ever gonna get any taller or grow any hair on my chest. No earthshaking stuff, but important to me.Complete

To You,
I just wanted to feel as if someone like you exists. You were the only one who cared enough to talk to me. The only one kind enough to try to get me to say more than two words. The only one who cared enough to keep me around, I know that by the time I give you this, you won't know where I am until the end. If you skip it all, if you ignore it, or if you read it before I leave just know that nonetheless, I wanted to say thank you. There's just some things in life, I need to get off my chest and doing this, I feel like I could have someone to tell. I know it's not the same as telling you in person but, to me, this means a hell of a lot more.Complete
The Hidden Worlds
I was waiting for my dad when my life changed. Not in any way like a fairy tale with magic wands or going through a rabbit hole like kids in the books do. More like I found it and wished my father came back to clean up his own problem instead of risking my life for this. I can only hope that I will make it out alive.
