Did I tell you about my new friend, Kat? I met her in school a few weeks ago and at first, I was very happy because making friends had never been easy for me and it’s been a long time since I’ve had a friend. We hit it off and during spring break, I secretly visited her. I’ve been doing so many things secretly lately that I’m starting to get a rush.
Anyway, her home was extremely simple, few furniture and decorations. However, I noticed she had a few posters of pretty girls taped against her kitchen wall. “What’s up with those?” I asked.
“I want to be like them.” She replied right away. Why, I asked her. “I want to be beautiful!”
At that moment, I felt puzzled. She’s already beautiful. She has a husband who loves her for her, who allows her all the freedom she desires, not requiring her to go to work, let her buy whatever she desires, so why would she want to go through the trouble of changing her appearance?

That is a mystery. I wonder, why did you have to secretly visit? Were you not supposed to be friends?

I had to secretly visit because my mom doesn’t allow me to hang out with anyone.

Oh. This is true story. I thought it was fiction and she was so beautiful because she was stealing beauty. Your fiction self was about to be her next victim.
Reality puts a whole new light on the story.
Either way nice one.

Yes, this is 100% non-fiction. I was heading toward that direction (being her victim) but I pulled myself out when I decided I don’t need to change for anyone.

It is sad that some women don’t perceive themselves beautiful and want to strive to be like someone else. I hope your friend comes to realize soon how truly blessed she is!
