As seventh grade went on, my confidence was slowly shattered. My best friend was so cute and desirable, and I felt like the girl standing back in the shadows. Toward the end of the year, my best friend and I got a third best friend. She is still one of the most stunning girls I have ever seen, and was so small and cute.

Tales from above the Toilet Bowl, Chapter 2
In later elementary school, we watched a video about eating disorders. I made a promise to myself that I would never develop one. I also made a promise to myself that I would enter 7th grade thin. Neither promise was kept.
"This fear in love has turned me the wrong way"
The title is lyrics from a song that I used to always listen to, like a couple years ago. I am still trying to figure out what exactly the lyrics could mean, but to me they are saying that having a fear of loving a person can change you and sometimes it might be for the worst. I sometimes feel like after being hurt once it is kinda always in the back of my head that it could happen again.
I've become what I hate.
Where do you go when you've become the person that you never wanted to become, and you feel like it's too late to change?
Loving myself the way I am.
I read comments people have left me from my previous post and one really stuck out to me. The person told me that if I start loving myself that I'll eventually feel better about everything around me. I really think that person is right. I think that most of the problems I have at this point are because I don't really believe in myself or have self confidence anymore.
Where has my self-esteem gone?
Lately I have been writing about how I've been acting and how it's been bothering. Well for a while I was starting to feel better, then something happened and I felt the same again. And recently I was starting to feel better, BUT tonight it kind of got ruined again. I hate how it happens, and the sad thing about it is...it's ALL my own fault.
