My name is D, I am a twenty-year-old woman with thick lips and beautiful blue eyes. Growing up, I always thought that my physical appearance was something to be ashamed of. My lips were too big, my eyes were too pale, my hair was too curly. But as I grew older, I realized that those very things that made me feel so insecure were the things that made me stand out from everyone else.
I come from a small town where most people never leave and the only thing to do is work at one of the few factories in town. My parents were both factory workers who struggled to make ends meet, but they always made sure that I had what I needed. They encouraged me to follow my dreams even though they didn't understand them.
When I was younger, I dreamed of being a singer. I would sing everywhere I went - in the shower, in the car with my parents, in front of the mirror. But when I was 15 years old, I had an accident that left me with permanent damage to my vocal cords.
At first, I was devastated. But then I realized that there were other ways for me to express myself creatively. I started writing songs and playing guitar. And eventually, I decided to move to the city to pursue a career in music.
Now, I'm working as a waitress while I try to make it big in the music industry. It's hard work, but every day I wake up with a renewed sense of purpose and determination. Because even though I can't sing like I used to, there are still so many ways for me to make my voice heard.
