I feel that I shouldn't love this, but I do anyways.
It's so great when people represent how little things can make the world go round, and how we're all different through our little quirks along the road. The window was a great symbol and really well explained.
I feel like we got so much out of the character that the line about the knife isn't necessary because the reader can already see how broken she is through the narration. Also, the italics die off and it would make sense to have one, then no more, instead of one, a little bit of writing, and then two, and then nothing for a really long time. That's just me though.

At first I didn't like how often you used the word "you," but now I appreciate it. Just like I said before, if this were one moment in time, it makes sense that it is all about this person drawing on the window (the "you"). It made the reader remember what exactly the story was about.
It was really sad, and also very true. You wrote it in a way that pertains to any person and any hidden or masked beauty- not just a physical defect. I truly loved this- great job :]
