Daring: not yet
Rosabella: not ever.
Daring: it started when I was a kid
Daring: my parents always wanted me to be perfect and then it became one the only ways they viewed me as perfect
Daring: and I needed to be perfect
Daring: need to be perfect
Rosabella: you still feel like that?
Daring: it’s the only thing i can hocus focus on
Daring: it’s constantly on my mind
Rosabella: perfect is unattainable
Rosabella: nothing and nobody is perfect
Daring: I need to be
Rosabella: I know mon amour but you can’t be
Rosabella: your parents expectations are unrealistic
Rosabella: probably entirely unachievable
Daring: it’s not just their expectations
Daring: they’re mine too
Rosabella: it’s from your parents
Daring: I guess
Rosabella: you need to eat
Daring: I can’t
Rosabella: why not?
Daring: without my looks I’m nothing
Rosabella: you’re worth so much more than just your appearance
Rosabella: yes you’re absolutely gorgeous, the prettiest boy I’ve ever seen but you’re kind, you’re so thoughtful and selfless and you’re such a good brother, boyfriend and friend to everyone
Rosabella: eating won’t change that
Daring: but what if I quit and then you don’t want me anymore
Rosabella: I’ll always want you
Daring: you don’t know that.
Rosabella: I do
Daring: you can’t
Rosabella: I love you now that won’t change
Daring: that’s not true
Daring: if I’m not perfect no one will love me
Daring: no one’s supposed to love me when I’m not good enough for it
Daring: and I’ll never been good enough
