Pretty? Gorgeous? Beautiful? Lovely? Ha! You haven't seen what I see in the mirror at 6am. You haven't seen these eyes wet with tears at 2am. You haven't seen me bite my lip to keep from screaming out at 3pm. You haven't seen anything but a picture. Where, yes, I look relatively decent. Big eyes. 'Happy' Nice hair. I spent so long trying to get it straight. So please. Don't compliment me until you see my rawest state. Because that is true beauty. Raw emotion.
