Prologue

Dear Daisy,

Weight: 98lbs

Calories: 2000

This is my first letter to you, well, my first journal entry, I mean

Since you have left me, I really don’t knoho I can speak to, so I have decided to keep speaking to you… through the htly chats on the phone about our progress that day, I will talk to you here I will tell you ht, how many calories I’ve eaten… just like before

But this is not like before, is it?

It’s not the sah, but it is all I have… all I have left of you, Daisy,surave Your grave, Daisy! How did it come to this?

I aranite headstone, tracing the edges of your epitaph:

‘She concealed her tears but shared her s on the surface but too fragile for this world underneath You never let it show, though, always s your mask that told the world you were fine, but all the ti inside

I know because I wear this mask too

You were always my rock, the one person who I could rely on But you left me here alone and I am lost without you I don’t knowworld full of pain, with its constant pressure to be perfect

It was never supposed to be this way We were ether But just like the flower of your name, you thrived for a while but, too delicate to last, withered and died

Your last words to me were live for the both of us Do what scares me and cherish each day And I will try I proue my mind Insecurities haunt e hts… of his horrid words
