I like this. It's sweet and /sad/. And obviously well written. It's like you can feel the characters' sadness. The whole feeling that your ugly...I used to be like that. I was never bulimic, never anorexic, I knew I was skinny as a rail. But as a little kid, I always would look in the mirror and think 'You are so ugly.' every day. Eventually one day I was hating what I was looking at when I thought 'Those eyes can't be yours. They're beautiful. It doesn't fit.' and I realized that they were mine. And that I liked them. I've never thought I was beautiful (I still don't) but I don't think I'm ugly anymore. People still are always like 'Your soo beautiful! I wish I was more like you. So confident...' and I'm like, confident, maybe. Beautiful, no. They look at me funny and then shrug and then drop the subject. I just don't thinnk looks are everything, or even much of anything.
Anyway, I digressed. I like this story and would definitly like to see more of it. :)
Yeah, I was a pretty effed up kid.

its good to be confident about yourself, its one of the best traits you can have as a person. it doesn't matter how you look because if you're confident you have the ability to look past all that. I honestly do think i am ugly but i really don't care much about it because it doesn't bother me how i look a whole lot of the time, if you aren't the best looking you can find out who your real friends are. I know this sounds awfully cheesy buts true. I'm sure you're really beautiful (despite me never having met you) but i agree looks aren't anything really, i mean there's this advert on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U) that shows the idea of beauty is controlled by the media. any who i'm rambling. really glad you like the story, i get sad just writing it.
thanks :) there is definitely more to come.
