its not a joke anymore
August 27, 2011
she looked in the mirror
what everyone else saw is not what she pictured
she saw ugly, she saw fat and unlovable.... we saw beautiful and perfect
she wouldn't eat
it started out small
a skipped meal no dessert
she lost weight she exercised constantly her heart couldn't handle the stress
she's laying in a hospital bed
her battle's not over
WE'RE STILL FIGHTING FOR HER

I really like the simplicity of your work, but the overall powerful feeling it gives off. This is a serious subject and you did really well with it :)

This is really honest and true...nice work. It's wonderful when people draw attention to the things society likes to overlook.
