Just Me

I use to think that I wasn’t enough nor special because I didn’t have everything my so called friends had. And I use to think that being a single mom was worse than having a deadly disease but one day, I woke up and decided to fight my own ways because those I thought were fighting beside me where actually fighting against me. I may not be where I want to be but I surely ain’t where I used to be.

“You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance - you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behaviour and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and “continues” to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.”

Diet companies will be hitting hard this year. Be prepared to hear repeated sentiments of "It's time to get rid of that Quarantine 15" and "In these hard times, commit to taking care of yourself with healthy living and weight loss."

This rhetoric is going to be everywhere. And due to the nature of modern advertising, the vast majority of it will be coming from people online who just look like they're trying to share some good advice with the followers that they love so much. You'll barely be able to see the money getting thrown at them from the weight loss industry.

Don't reward them for using these manipulation techniques - Buying their products and losing weight isn't going to make your year any better, or erase the stress of the pandemic, or be the first step in self-care.

Please please please see these ads for what they are - A way of preying on your insecurity and trauma in order to make money.

2020 has taught me to:

Accept what is;

Let go of what was;

And have FAITH in what will be.

Happy Monday, Fam. ❤️
