The Real You “I’ll never be good enough.” Alara sat on her bed sobbing while reciting these words over and over again. “Those girls... They told me that I’ll never be good enough,” she wept. Through the tears, she glanced at her phone and saw a text from her boyfriend, Michael. She read the text aloud with a shaky voice, “I love you.” A brief smile came across her face.

The rhythmic laugh of the kookaburra can be heard as the glistening heat from the Australian summer sun shines, baking my skin.
