So Much for Perfection

She had been out with more than a hundred, but nobody quite measured up, or may be she didn’t. Every time, she was left behind to wait for her happily ever after. But did such a person even exist?

They would take her out and within minutes decide that she wasn’t worth it. Her tiny waist, that looked so appealing to herself, made them uncomfortable, it seemed to remind them of what they could never be.

So while her size 6-8 cousins took vows in the churches, the tiny sequined dress stayed put with the lifeless mannequin. So much for perfection!
