- Thin, delicate legs that look so beautiful in black ripped skinny jeans
- Collarbones that collect water under the rain
- Ribs with valleys and canyons
- A fairy-like waist that looks so tiny in tight dresses
- Hipbones that stick out so much they’re like a cartoon
- Sweaters that will always look baggy on me, no matter how small
