being hungry doesnt always mean you want food

[charlotte]

When she hears her stomach growl
She feels a sense of satisfaction
She’s feels empowered
She knows it wrong
But she craves being thin
More than food.

No intent to be insensistive here, but I personally never understood things along these lines. Beauty does remain in the eye of the beholder. Appearance is not everything.

try telling that to society, i understand where your comming from, but here, if you're not skinny, you're not pretty.

[TKei]

I see people who think that way all too often. New York has a very high obesity rate, so there are many, many people doing everything they can to be thinner, or look better, or weigh less. Even to the point of a child I knew who had surgery because their ears were too ugly.

A sad and ignorant world, indeed.

I dont blame her. Shes just a kid, I'm pretty sure that she didnt come up with the thought of her "ugly" ears herself. The immature kids around her probabbly bullied her, making fun of here. Thats the reason i felt the way I did, some people would tell me that i needed to lose weight, so i thought to myself, if they really think that it might be true. We need more people in the world who see with their heart not their eyes. But its upsetting what we'd do to fit in

I won't be one to judge, but she always made herself out to be one trying to always look her best. Still, I don't have a full understanding of the human mind, especially others.

[charlotte]

I dont think anyone does. I may be pretty young, im only 14, but i really think that the human mind is something that wont be fully understood because its so intricate.
