BODY IMAGE | LOVE YOURSELF
I Didn’t Sign Up to Join a Beauty Pageant
But that didn’t stop them from ‘evaluating’ me as if I’m in a dog breed exhibition — wrong hair color, my face being too haggard and that I’m too fat.
I would really appreciate it if you could please stay on the page
for at least 30 seconds to help me support my work as per Medium's new changes.i can still slide into my outfit without a care i’d never try to force myself with the smaller size i’d wear whatever fits me whatever comfortable practical choices
i’m not a model’s size but that’s fine by me i’m not here to meet anyone’s standard i dress for comfort not for society’s decree nor did i sign up to join a beauty pageant
maybe i’m carrying a little extra weight this may not be the dream physique i have desired but i’ve come to love this body of mine
i cared for myself my mind, body and soul doing the sensible thing for my own sake i won’t starve myself anymore eating whatever i feel like it
i’m not going to take in those cruel insults and jab they had thrown at me i detest them their taunting and shaming
what did i do to deserve that? did i eat their portion of food? or did the size of my body in their way? then why do they think they have a say? in how much i weigh or what i ingest?
truth to be told there’s nothing wrong with the way i am it’s everything wrong with them happily indulging themselves in torturing others it my body, not theirs i will not conform to their shallow minds
