Currently listening: Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack - Balcony scene

“I’m 16. These teenage years are supposed to be filled with friendships, parties, relationships.

I don’t have any of that. I’m too afraid to step outside into the unknown world, so I spend all of my time online, pretending to be someone else, someone who’s funny and affectionate and not a total screw up. […]

Today I waited all day for the site update. I read every postcard, imagining the excitement of the owner of each one when they would see their secrets finally set free. I began to lose hope, but as I reached the bottom of the page I saw it.

When I saw my postcard on your site (Life Is So Much Easier When It’s Pixelated) I was breathless.

I’ve never been happy with myself. I’m too fat, too ugly, too geeky, too sensitive. But I guess I’ll never be able to receive the love and attention I so desperately crave until I learn to love myself.

Today, for the first time in 6 months I walked outside and said hello to the first person I saw. It felt amazing.“
