Maybe it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad.
And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and bad.

And when she started becoming a “young lady,” and no one was allowed to look at her because she thought she was fat. And how she really wasn’t fat. And how she was actually very pretty. And how different her face looked when she realized boys thought she was pretty. And how different her face looked the first time she really liked a boy who was not on a poster on her wall.
