Frenemies


"You are not good enough. Lose weight and he will love you and not his new girl. If you looked like that perfect girl over there, no one would dare to say to you, 'We are through.'" Tempting promises of quick results to reach perfection and beauty, to be a girl who everyone envies, a girl whose relatives sing praises about everyday. But instead, these "quick results" promised by Ana and Mia turn you into an unrecognizable mess, whose life now revolves around the digits on a scale. Sooner or later, the wind will just pick you up and take you away from this world.
