If friend groups and cliques played a major role in anything, school definitely takes most of the blame. Because when you get down to the truth, people are awful. We are just, the worst. So don't go trying to chase a utopia where we all do good by each other, because we can't. We don't ever take the route we would actually prefer in life. Why is that? I don't know. Like I said, people are awful. And there really is nothing you can do about it. Okay, you what saves my soul? Laughter. Because even when I know somebody isn't talking to me, their laughter still exists. Hearing joy and knowing that someone is okay, words aside. And for me, that will never be enough to satisfy my loneliness. But it has to be. For their sake. And for some reason, I still hold out hope. The slightest bit of optimism. Why? Maybe because I can see it when eye contact is made for barely 5 seconds. I can feel us wanting to fix everything. But for some reason... we don't? And maybe we never will. And that will never be okay but it has to be. It doesn't make sense, it never will. And that's just my life. But I don't want this all to seem like a bad dream. Because I'll just look back with regret. And I can't live like that. It would **** me to do so.

Throwaway Letter #4
You know why I'm obsessed with makeup? You know why I literally BREAK. DOWN. when I see myself in the mirror on one of those REALLY ugly days that I have? You know why I seem f!cking vain and beauty obsessed and attention seeking because of how self-deprecating I am? You know why I am currently crying...alone...on my bedroom floor...kind of pathetically? Because now I'm a little bit scared That maybe I DO have a disease of the mind Maybe I DO have something in my head that isn't right It just seems so impossible Because I mean I look in the mirror And all I see is this hideous shameful beastly girl So ugly In fact, I genuinely feel terrible for the people who have to look at me and I don't know why I just don't see how anybody could ever possibly think that I am pretty And for some reasons I'm crying right now And I feel really alone But no no no There is no way I really have dysmorphia Is there? I feel embarrassed Like I come across shallow And stupid And makeup obsessed Because I can't ever see myself as pretty NOT EVEN ONCE not even decent Not even reasonable I just. see. UGLY. and ashamed of my face, And ashamed of my obsession With cosmetics Because it is like the only medicine they made To fix this affliction Makeup can make up for how ugly I am maybe it can fix me maybe I won't hate myself anymore but it never does and I hate crying alone!
