The picture you used for the layout is really, really pretty. The whole color scheme sets that beautiful mood that’s just really sweet and I like it a lot.
Darcy, flitted and darted like a ballerina, around the deserted street.
I am a total sucker for similes <3
So okay, I started reading this and was like, “awww, this is really sweet and light and cute,” and then I kept going and this is so haunting and deep. I think it’s just eklagdjhg how some girls actually think like that about the whole, “you’re so fat!” thing. It’s terrible and unfair and I think you did an amazing job portraying the whole emotion and the real story that goes along with that mentality. The ending, though, is beautiful. The exposure she gets and how she’s beginning to realize how truly awful it is to obsess over something like your image.
This is really an amazing piece and I really, really, loved it!
The story was...it was beautiful. I really liked your use of repetition/parallelism, it made the words so much more meaningful...it was like it was echoing in a haunting yet hopeful/cheery voice. If that makes sense, haha. I also like the transition from the beginning where she was obsessed with her weight and what her mother told her, to a sort of being free at the end when she realizes being beautiful is something else entirely aside from appearance.
Beautiful :') I honestly loved this story. It was intriguing and brilliant. Keep writing!
