This was definitely a good read. The description was both a strength and weakness of this piece. I felt like some of the description was a bit stifling to the writing, and I feel like to remedy it it could be good to watch out for the overuse of adverbs. Like, in the beginning, you wrote "Her simple green eyes" as a girl with brown eyes, there is nothing simple about green eyes! I would have left it at just green eyes or just eyes.
Other than that, this piece flowed very well and the subject matter is very relatable for all girls of all sizes, and perhaps even to dudes as well. I know in high school I was never comfortable with myself. Even with the strived for "hourglass figure" and curves, people still made fun of me and cut me down because of how I looked. Things like that make a person so self conscious and self destructive. It really speaks to a lot of people, and I think anyone can put themselves in the protagonist's shoes.
I wanted to cry but I couldn't. To be honest, it was very emotional for me to read this but I'm somewhat a hard person to cry on such things. This story, however, made me teary-eyed so lucky you!
It was a strong concept, what you used here. Any girl/guy would be able to relate. You said that it's not your best story, but I'm saying it's one of the most emotional, raw and beautiful stories I've read here on Mibba.
The way you've written this story is absolutely flowing. It's not as poetic as any author would write but it's original. Your writing in this story made it seem raw and strong.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. I'm glad to have read this. Even if it was a sad story, it had somewhat given me hope and strength.
