Last night I went into the restroom at Super Walmart in Bristol, after I got in my stall & shut the door I heard the sound of someone getting sick, I stood there for a second determining if I was going to have to leave because the sound & I thought whatever she has I dont want it. I stood there a little longer trying to decide when it became obvious, she was doing it herself, she was facing the toilet (I could tell by her shoes) & would gag in little spurts, spit, do it over & over & over, at first I was disgusted, but then I realized how sad it was, I purposefully waited until she was leaving so that I could say something, as hard as it was I stood there maybe 7 minutes & listened to it all. You could tell she was trying to be quiet. When she opened her stall I opened mine & we were both at the sink, she was touching her face, fixing her hair, and rubbing her lips. They were chapped from the obvious so I reached in my purse & pulled out my new Chapstick & said Here, I got this but I read the back & Im allergic, I have sensitive skin. Take it if you want. (Okay so I told a little white lie, but she needed it) She awkwardly took it, nodded & put it in her pocket. I could tell she kept looking at me, and when I looked up she would look away, I handed her a paper towel & said ya know, youre really pretty, and you dont have to do what youre doing. She looked at me like I was an alien & said Thanks. She was shaking drying her hands, nervously. She went back to the mirror to count what she thought was her flaws so I dug down deep and said whatever or whoever made you feel like you have to do this, its not worth it, you dont have to do this, I wasnt lying or telling you I thought you were pretty because of pity, I really think you are, you shouldnt be spending Saturday night doing that for society in Walmart bathroom, I hope that me talking to you helped in some way. My voice started shaking because I started tearing up, Im really not sure why, I can just be emotional for other people lol. She never looked my way, so I opened the door to walk out, right before I did I heard her say Thank you.. I turned back around & she was standing there facing me with her face as red as it could be & you could tell she was trying not to cry. She said Ive been doing this for a while now, and like tonight Ive done it in public, youre the first person Ive ever had to say something instead of just walking out or give me a sad look. Im going to try to get help, I think youre pretty too, really pretty. I smiled at her and said well its probably that burger from cookout I just ate thats making my skin glow, you should try one, or 8. Jokingly of course. She caught on and smiled for the first time and dropped her head. She had a beautiful smile too! She wouldnt know it though. I hope that you find some help if you arent able to stop yourself, believe it or not Ive enjoyed talking to you tonight, I like knowing I made a small difference. She said Youve done more than that, thank you so much, Ill always remember you. What happened last night made my night, its just proof that people wont always remember what you look like, or what your name was, but they will always remember how you treated them, How dare society make that girl feel like she had to do something like that to feel worthy.
