When did creating a flawless facade become a more vital goal than learning to love the person who lives inside your skin?

Not exactly. I see a girl who wants to present someone special to the world. Someone beautiful. The pinnacle of beauty. But she has lost her hold on reality. Real beauty isn’t thin. It isn’t size two, unless you happen to be four foot ten.

But love and respect for herself.
