Fighting Perfection

Description

 

Compared to the bright blue summer sky, she thought she was the dull grey winter clouds.

Compared to the crystal clear waters of the river, she thought she was the murky waters of a neglected pond.

Compared to her dazzling younger sister, she thought she was just a silhouette of a figure, which would ultimately submerge into the approaching darkness.

 

 

 

 

"I don't look up to you, I don't have any reason to but somewhere in my heart I do feel looked down upon,"

Prologue

She peered into the face of the being, referred to as angelic by the adults in the room. Her mother said that the little doll with curly hair; that was blinking at her and opening at regular intervals, was her younger sister. At three years of age, she knew it very well that sisters were supposed to resemble each other, even if the resemblance was slight. But looking at the sparkling black eyes, the curly auburn hair, the cute nose with a sharp bridge, the firm jaw and the pink lips and comparing it with her dull black eyes, straight black hair, a blunt nose with a kink at the bridge, a tiny jaw and chapped lips she was convinced that the resemblance ended at their surname.

Going up to one of the two known faces in the room she asked with confusion etched on her face, “Daddy, she can’t be my sister. She doesn’t look anything like me.”

The wrinkles at the man’s eyes crinkled as he smiled at his eldest gem, “She is just a baby,” he said as he lifted her up on his lap, “Let her grow up and she’ll resemble you surely!”

She did not look convinced by her father’s explanation but her lack of experience made it impossible for her to argue against him. Placing her trust on the future, she stared at the porcelain doll wondering whether she would be too fragile to be played with.

Chapter 16: I was initially hesitant to start reading this; with only 15 chapters, I worried about just how much these characters would be able to develop. Thankfully you proved my hesitancy needless. Some of the factors that helped character development-wise was reducing the number of important characters and the use of first person. I typically hate first person pov because it makes it too hard for me to focus on other characters' motives, but it was completely necessary in this case to help understand the severity of the narrator's feelings. However, what truly drew me into this story was the idea of imperfection - something I'm sure all of us can relate heavily to. While reading some chapters, I found my mindset worryingly similar to the narrator's. Reading her journey of self-discovery and eventual happiness is relieving and makes me a bit more hopeful for my own growth.
Thank you for putting so much thought and effort into this! You've gained a new fan today!

Chapter 16: This whole story was something new to me. The character dynamics were nicely built and altogether the story a surprise and way more complex than what was expected in a relatively short story. I got this out of a recommendation list and I don’t regret the time spent binging this story at all. Kai and OC and then her relationship with her sister and finally the ending of it all, it was such a nice subtle lesson throughout. Really good story- thank you for sharing it

Chapter 7: they are so weird especially female lead lmao. but the way she was depicted was kinda reasonable. only superb characterization would be able to do so methinks

Chapter 16: It is a blessing for me to come across this story now. This has reminded me how human I am with my mistakes and my decisions which are not always right. I have a lot of failings which led me to relate a little too much with all, not one but all the characters. I saw myself in their shoes and in their lives and I realised that even me I am in the process of growth and that in time I will heal and move on. Perhaps, it mas made me embrace my feelings raw and bland unlike how I keep it guard everytime. I am so glad that I came across this, that I got the opportunity to read this no matter how late.
I am thankful to you for this.
Besides I simply adored the way you wrote everything. It is exhilarating to read your style of writing,... It makes me wish I know more, I be better in the things that I do.
In short, it is beautiful.... Perfeectly imperfect.

Chapter 15: Idk why but the moment she started dancing with him at the amusement park I kinda knew she would end up with him and I didn't even know who exactly he was though I had a feeling it was him
