Vanity is a Killer
January 13, 2012

Smelling myself to see if the vanilla assent hasn’t faded off, checking my elbows to see if they are smooth and not dry. I blow on my hand and smell my breath making sure its minty. Why do I look a hundred times in the mirror to make sure I’m pretty, why can’t I JUST accept myself…
