Always be true to yourself
Judith followed her and sat down in front of the large mirror. She paid close attention to her face, which was starting to brighten. The lack of makeup in no way interfered with her beauty.

The sun had just left the sky after several weeks of overwhelming heat. Moderating itself, it no longer shone on the city in such a determined way. Clouds were gathered to spread cheerful faces above the trees that swept across the horizon with the twitch of branches. A long-awaited light breeze encouraged families to enjoy the fresh air that this morning was ready to give.

Their parents, full of carelessness, watched them with a distracted eye. Lost in their thoughts, only a furtive glance was thrown at them from time to time. The birds came back from a long journey and fought over the breadcrumbs left on the benches. The calm, but also the sweetness had returned. Everything seemed to be going well; that's what mattered at the end of the summer vacation.&nbs

A shrink, even a high graduate one, won't bring my boyfriend back to me, she said to herself, staring with a bit of bitterness at the couples parading down the Casa Bella. A woman in a yellow dress h

She never took a single gram. The bathroom scale was always kind to her. As slender as a model, she had countless 6 size jeans in her closet. In her teens, she joined a competition organized by the local bakery. She had swallowed heaps of candies until she dropped, but the numerous devoured were not enough to win her victory.
