The world acts like it cares, when really all that matter's is how beautiful you are to the world. The world twists your perception of beauty into a particular idea that you agree with. The others, the ones who try to become what the world wants in the way of beauty, are like Lola. It was no more than three simple words that set her off on a trail that she could not turn back from. She was consumed by counting the bones she could see and the weight that she lost each time she skipped breakfast. Spiraling into anorexia, depression and self harm she came a balancing act teetering on the edge and this is her story.
