Truth is Truth

I want. I want a new and better life. Gran always tells me that I’m smart and beautiful and can do anything I put my mind to.

But she’s my grandma.

And yet, she agrees with me that I’d feel better if I lost a few pounds. Gran has mastered the dual approach of kindness and honesty.

Truth is truth. I would feel better if I lost a few pounds. Even better, more than a few.

Better. Lighter.

Free.

I would love to feel any of that.
