She sat on the bus, looking tired after a long day of work.
The bus was very full, and she happened to be seated next to a middle-aged gentle looking lady. The lady soon after leaned over and told her, with an aged smile, "I think you're really pretty."
She smiled, thanked the lady, and proceeded to listen to her music for the remainder of the ride.
Of course she was flattered, although it was not the first time she had heard it. A blessing and a curse, she thought to herself.
A curse? How on earth could it be a burden to look the way she did?
Many young girls would have loved to look like her. Many already admired her for her appearance. Many would look at her and go home wishing they were her. ¬
Once her bus ride came to an end, she walked herself home at a quick pace in the heat.
She ran to her room, and of course the first thing she did was take off all her sweaty office clothes. Before changing into her big baggy tshirt, she went to the bathroom.
There, she would examine herself once from head to toe, as she did every day.
She first looked at herself facing forward, staring herself in the face, noticing all the facial hairs she should've probably taken care of that morning. How come one side of her face always had more blemishes than the other? And why was her smile so uneven?
She took a step back, then turned to the side, where she noticed how her stomach was protruding forward from how much she had eaten that day. She wished she wasn't hungry, but she always wanted to eat when she arrived home from work. What really annoyed her was her posture. Her shoulders would naturally slump forward and make her upper back look like a bump.
She absolutely hated it. She hated that her mom had the same issue and that she would be destined to have this ugly shape for her whole life. She pushed her shoulders back with all the power she had, wishing they would just stay that way.
Once finished, she threw her tshirt on, ran downstairs, and proceeded to find as many things to snack on as she could.
She proceeded to her evening routine of spending hours online, watching videos about the people she most admired: fashion icons, singers, actors, or just rich kids with nothing to do but spend their money on luxuries.
She wished she was one of them.
