Ana and Mia

By alyssatatum28

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Ana.

Ana was beautiful. She had perfect hair, a perfect face, perfect eyes, perfect skin... and a perfect body.

But that’s not what she saw. She didn’t see a perfect body...

...She saw someone who was fat and ugly...

...Someone whose body could only be fixed by starvation.

And that’s what she did. Ana, the beautiful, perfect girl, who was beautiful on the inside and the outside...

...Starved herself.

Far, far away, there was another perfect, beautiful girl.

She didn’t see herself as perfect either.

Her name was Mia. She thought like Ana, but she knew people would start to notice if she didn’t eat.

So she ate.

But she threw it up when no one was looking.

Ana and Mia starved differently...

...But they both had the same goal...

...To be beautiful...

...And...

...To be loved.
