" you made flowers grow in my lungs.
and although they are beautiful,
i can't breathe. "

When the conceited Cole Woods meets Nora Nightingale for the first time, he is left speechless. He is sure that her peculiar looks and odd ways will stick with him until the end of time.
And he hates that.

[ a story of wondering how anyone
could ever love an ugly girl. ]

------------

this is for the FreeYourBody campaign because every time you think of yourself as the person that is
too fat,
too skinny,
has too much acne,
too many scars,
too much height,
too much color on your skin,
not enough color on your skin,
not enough height,
not enough curves,
or not enough beauty,

you see yourself as ugly.

because you are never
"too much" or "not enough"

you are so beautiful and
you should be thanking God
that you're as pale as a ghost
or as round as a pumpkin
because that makes you different.
it makes you special.

and I know you're thinking,
'I don't want to be different, especially if it means having to look like this.'

but, darling, you stand out.
and sure, some people may come
along and make fun of you or tell you
that you aren't good enough,
they may even tell you that you're ugly.

but you were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.

Don't waste that chance.

Do something great with the opportunity.

If they're going to take notice of you,
make sure they don't see you crying in the corner because their dumb and meaningless words got to you.

let them see you with your head held high,
and show them your talents, your beauty.
show them who you really are and who you want to be.

show them you.

and then maybe your kind words will get to them.

*i apologize in advance if any part of this offends anyone. let me know if you feel uncomfortable with any of the statements and I'll try to change it*
