Here's my Day 136: 5 Minute Freewrite: Sunday - Prompt: belt
The sun peaked through the curtain as I stepped beside the mirror. Ever since I was younger I couldn't dress in front of the mirror. I envied those who could, who looked and saw what everyone else saw, someone beautiful, who has so much confidence that they could look at themselves and not find the flaws that so many of us see in ourselves. No I dressed beside it. I made sure that I couldn't see what it was that made me who I am.
I wrapped my belt through the loops of my jeans - something I rarely wear. I clasp it together and I take it all the way to the last hole - the first time I ever had been able to do this since high school. Back in high school I made myself thin. I did everything in my power to make sure I was thinner, that I didn't go into high school how I was in grade school. I couldn't go through the torment of being fat.
He wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses my neck. "You look beautiful as always." he whispers in my ear. I smile and lean my head back against his shoulder. I feel the prettiest in his arms. "Jeans? I love the way you look in jeans" he says, his hands slipping to my hips.
I laugh, "You mean something other than my leggings?" I grin and turn to face him in his arms.
"I'll take either. You gorgeous either way." He says with a smile, placing a small kiss on my lips. He knows my torment. He knows the way my mind works. I will forever see myself as the little fat kid. But in his arms? In his eyes... I see myself the way I should - the way he sees me. Beautiful.
