Don’t Waste Your Time by Sophie Pollack ‘20 and Lily Price ‘20

Don’t Waste Your Time

You keep telling yourself that you’re ugly. Every time you look in the mirror, you don’t like what you see. The stretch marks, the loose skin, the gap between your front teeth. You stare at them, and they stare back. Mocking you. You stab yourself repeatedly, destroying your self-esteem, constantly wondering how anyone could ever want you, When you, yourself, don’t even want you. How will you survive this?

I wish I could make you understand that you’re perfect, just by being you, and I’d tell you that every single day, till you start to believe it. I wish you knew just how much I adore you. You’re brave, intelligent, gentle, and kind. You’re going to change the world someday with that incredible mind. Don’t waste precious time, hating yourself. How will you survive, if you keep going backward? Will, you ever learn that your flaws are a part of you. Without them, Who are you? How will you survive this? Social Media Trip

Why be you when you can be me? Your hair is too curled, Your eyes are too small, Your waste is too large.
