Perfection - Tumblr Posts
She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice. And she knew that. She wore dark red lipstick the colour of blood, and not just any blood, but period blood. She wore smokey eyes and didn’t bother hiding the dark circles from insomniac nights and had a perfectly winged eyeliner that she had read in sixth grade made you look like a cat and she loved cats though she was, as she begrudgingly admitted to her animal lover friends, afraid to touch them. Her nose was radically different from what the rest of her family had and someone said it made her look like a Greek sculpture. She refuses to wear high heels unless it is a wedding and she loves standing taller than the people who used to look down on her. She practically lives in her well-worn sneakers that she bought with the money from her first salary because the heels prescribed by the boss at work were ergonomically stupid and anyway, she would like to have her spine and muscles intact in old age. She had a small little birthmark right beneath the outer of her left eye, on her high cheekbones that her uncle had told her resembled her country. She has two very slightly crooked front teeth, hardly visible unless you are asked to look at them because though she intended to, she never could bring herself to take the initiative and wear braces because it hurts and she hated things that brought her pain. She always carries a picture of her parents in her purse and a bottle of perfume. She goes to the movies without buying popcorn because she hadn’t been to the theatre for five years once and the first time after, she forgot to buy them and anyway, it’s difficult to hear with the constant chewing. She writes little letters and half-finished stories, pores over ancient texts and is a treasure trove of little facts. She knows all the Greek stories, despises Zeus and the gods and adores mythology, be it Celtic, Indian, Chinese, Norse or Japanese but loves folklores the best. She knows suspiciously too much about Unit 731, Operation Nightingale, the Nazca lines, poison, the history of chocolate, the world wars and Europe after the French Revolution for a medical student but who cares, she’s fascinating. She appears cold but those who have known her for years would tell you that she’s an empath and her fault is caring too much. She speaks bits and pieces of several languages, all influenced by the books and series she’d seen and loved. You could ask her what ‘What’s for dinner?’ was in Thai but she wouldn’t be able to tell you the classes of tones in it. She is a fashionista and abides by the teachings of her father who taught her what fashion really is and made her see how even a small wardrobe is enough to last you years because he never seemed to buy himself something unless his existing clothes were too worn and that was rare because he took extremely good care of his belongings, good enough to still be able to use the same sunglasses he wore during his college days. She is a wonderful cook but rarely cooks her native dishes because she’s a picky eater who thrives on pasta and Chinese and the fish curries her mother makes are still the best things that graced her mouth. She is a mosaic of information and experience. She is everything and nothing, all at once. She is human, and perfection is her flaw. She is art.

Blurred reflection - A short story
The girl shook her head, just like the other one did. She held her hand up in the air, right behind her thin skull, slowly twisting her long blond hair. „Be beautiful. Be perfect. Be everyone´s everything.“ The voices had a shivering echo, finding their way through the girls´ heads. The two girls continued posing, letting the bright light flow over their naked bodies. Perfectly rounded breasts, beautiful hips, the two girls carefully turning towards each other. One girl completely mirroring the girl´s movements opposite of her. The girls looked at the stones in their hands.
„Shit.“
The word echoed through the nearly empty swimming hall. One of the girls had a strange glint in her eyes. She blinked away the little teardrop.
„Be perfect!“
The stone looked lightweighted, floating through the air like a feather, before it finally fell down, splittered into the chest of the other girl and sunk in. One of them was dead. One alive. She jumped into the cool water, right behind the little pebble, diving in deeply. No more voices. No more reflections. Just one girl. Without perfection. She looked at her knee. The scar was still able to be seen. Like always. Her little imperfection. Not immaculate. She sunk even deeper, the pressure on her ears getting stronger. No more sounds. Being alone never felt so good. The colours around her faded slowly into black silence. Breathe! Without breath.
