Looking Beyond the Stars

Have you ever sat back and wandered, how do celebrities do it? In all truth, I'm sure everyone these days has had that thought. The thought that says, "I wish I was that thin", or "Why can't my skin look like that?". Living in todays world, everyone looks up to celebrities, when in actuallity they should be looking deep inside themselves. Realizing what you've been missing, may just put you over the edge enough to find yourself.

Cut begins with a girl, Callie, reminiscing about her past. She wants to know why this happened and why she is at "Sick Minds". She is surrounded by people with problems of all sorts, but none have the same as her. She is a cutter. All the other girls with their eating disorders have no idea about what Callie does. One night, after she thought everyone had drifted off to sleep, Callie went to take a shower. When she arrived in the bathroom, Tara was standing at the sink, washing her mouth out. "The smell of vomit lingered in the air". Although they were all at "Sick Minds" to get better, Tara seemed to be doing the exact opposite. Never feeling thin enough, trying to appear perfect in someone else's eyes.

The world today is full of people who do the same thing as Callie and Tara. It's all because our celebrity world has created a so-called "model" of what every woman should look like. Not too thick, but you can never be too thin. Throwing up their food as to not retain an ounce of fat. Cutting themselves to relieve the pain they feel in their hearts. All this pain, suffering, rehab, all of this for what? Nothing. You will never be the person you envy most. So why do it?

"Have no fear in perfection, for you will never reach it."
-Salvador Dali.
