If you’ve seen the music video to Katy Perry’s “Firework”, then you know the girl that is overweight and jumps into a pool in her undergarments. I wish it was that easy for me. I love myself but others don’t. My body weight excludes me from the crowds that surround me. I love myself the way I am, because I am beautiful, no matter the size of my figure. I can’t see myself any other way. I come home and cry because all they see is my weight, and not how truly stunning I can be. I love to write, draw, and sing, but no one knows that except the people that accept my weight. Maybe I’m not the person that looks different, because in some cultures, being big is gorgeous. But why can’t it be like that here? I don’t care about the answer to that question, because I love myself. No matter how much weight I lose, I will always, look beautiful, feel beautiful, and be beautiful. Because I am beautiful. No matter what you say.
I AM AMAZING.
No, WE ARE AMAING, the women, and teenagers that know they are remarkable, and have the confidence it takes to know that no one can tell you how to be.
