“Pain is beauty.”
“Being skinny means being beautiful.”
I’ve lived by these ‘quotes’ my entire life, all thanks to my mom. Pain as in having perfect teeth, perfect eyebrows, and a perfect body. I’ve never lived up to her expectations. I’ve never been good enough for her. 75% of the time she makes me feel like she’s ashamed to have me as her daughter. She doesn’t know how many times I’ve cried myself to sleep because I’m not the child she wants me to be. She doesn’t know how hard I strive to be that child either. I’m sorry mom ok.
