"...friends who wouldn't have batted an eyelid if I'd decided to shave my eyebrows clean off..." Don't you love friends like that? (Even if my best friends claim they wouldn't talk to me if I shaved my head bald and/or turned into a sparkling vampire, I know they'd still love me no matter what.)
(Random, but the fact that your parents forbade you to date to keep you on track in academics sounds kind of nice, in an odd, roundabout way. Sad as it is, I wish my parents weren't as go-with-the-flow lackadaisical as they are.)
Sometimes a bit of a tragedy is what it takes for an epiphany to hit home, and while I'm glad you're better now, I'm also glad you had the taste of that realization that your body isn't everything. I understand the paranoia of people glancing at you, because I go through the fear of judgment like anyone else, but I'm amazed with your calm acceptance for what your body is. You're right--some things you just can't change, and the fact that you've come to terms with your appearance, accepting it for what it is and just living as healthily as you can, it's awe-inspiring.
I just hope you realize, from what I know about you, that you seem like a great person (who can draw a metric fuckton better than I can, haha) I'm thankful I've had the chance to acquaint myself with, if only very briefly. Thank you for sharing so much with me--someone you hardly know--and because I feel like this is in order...
Kurt thinks you're fabulous, and he loves you. (So do I. :D) ♥
