Hey y’all story time:)
So I just came back from a run. I ran past this guy who started yelling things at me. The only things I could make out where “hoe” and “too fat”.
I’ve always wanted to run but was afraid of what people would say to a chubby black girl on the street. It wasn’t until I found @sunnystrong (she is literally a ray of sunshine!!)here on tumblr that I decided to be brave and do it. Coming from a person that has been bullied and teased for most of my life, it was really scary to go out there the first couple of times. But the more I did it the more comfortable I got. And now, I don't feel weird at all :))
So when this hillbilly started yelling nonsense at me it was no big deal. You wanna call me a hoe?? You wanna tell me I’m too fat?? Lawlzzzzz
But I understand that not everyone will be able to laugh stupid shit like this off. If this happened to me three years ago, I probably would be too embarrassed to even run again. And to those people, I just want to say don’t let anyone's comments or attacks dictate how you live your life. Don’t stay inside because you are scared of assholes. The world is full of assholes and you will encounter many in your life time. Don’t let people, especially ones that mean absolutely nothing to you, make you feel bad about yourself. Don’t let people discourage you. You are great. You are wonderful. You are beautiful! Do what you want. Do what’s best for you. Do what makes you feel good. Running is one of the best things Ive done and really helped me with my depression. So I can promise you that I will be out there tomorrow.
Alright that’s all I had to say. Niight you guys:)
