 By the time I was 13 years old, I weighed 60 pounds… I loved being in control of what I ate – I loved the way it felt when my body started eating itself from the inside. I joined the Southern Ballet School when I was 10 years old. I remember when I walked into…

 On the back cover of the magazine that we handed out at the Lovely Experience, a statement was written. It said, “Becoming <3ly is just the beginning.” The Lovely Project One Day Experience has come and gone. During that day, many hands were shaken, hugs were given, and more names than we could remember were…

 I was broken, unfixable. At five years old I knew I would never be like everyone else. When I was a little girl, I knew without a shadow of a doubt what I would be when I grew up… a ballerina. There were no doubts in my mind, I was determined. I’ve always been the dreamer of…

 … I overheard the rest of the kids in my class saying how everyone who goes to Mrs. Whitmill’s class is “retarded.” I grew up with two sisters who excelled in their studies and both attended prestigious colleges. I loved being home schooled in my early years so when I found out I had to start…

 Can you keep a secret? The thing is with VALOR: no one thinks that they have it; but it exists within each one of us, and we all need a little help igniting it. VALOR: a noun that means showing great courage in the face of danger, especially in battle. When you think of the word Valor, what…

 What’s special about being the 3rd girl in a family? Exactly. Not much. At least that’s what I thought. My younger brother soon followed my arrival into this world and thus the completion of my family. Want a recipe for having no identity? Grow up in a family where everyone is extremely talented + the…

 This week we will be reading stories that remind us that shame silences… abuse muffles …and fear mutes our voice, allowing a perverted code of silence that keeps children and spouses alike from speaking up or speaking out. Like Hana here: If you grew up learning “WORDS CAUSE PAIN”, you grew up believing the best…

 “Ugly, Fat, Cootie Girl, Milk Carton, and Stupid” are just some of the names that I was being called since Kindergarten. These names hurt and made me feel like I was nothing but an ugly spot on a perfect wall. I would walk around school with my head down, always looking at the ground because…

 I have a vivid memory of the first time I looked at my reflection… and my first thought was, “yuck.” I was only five years old and I caught a glimpse of myself in a glass door while playing tag with some friends. I remember being surprised at how hideous the girl looking back at…
