i don't really know how to live if i am not perceived as beautiful. i hide my smile when i laugh, i don't let strangers look at my side profile for too long, i cover my face but arrange my features in a way i pray is appealing to the eye. i am constantly putting on a show for others in the hopes that maybe when they look at me, they won't think i'm ugly. it's an awful way to live, but it's the only way i know how
