Body Image
As a plus sized and taller than average individual, I struggled with accepting myself and my body. I constantly felt as though I wasn’t attractive enough because I weighed more than other people around me and that I was bulky and unfeminine because I was taller than most of the girls in my year. It had such an effect on me that I would sometimes cry or breakdown because of how stressed out I was getting. It is a long road to finally getting to a point where you feel comfortable in your own skin. No one is exactly the same as someone else and their path to finding that point isn’t as easy as other’s could be. Some people are struggling to feel like they are worth it because they weigh more, others are dealing with eating disorders, are struggling with transitioning to the gender they were meant to be, they don’t feel beautiful because certain parts of them don’t fit the typical stereotype of beauty within our society/cultures etc today. Some have been lost sometime along their journey. Some manage to make it out to the end. And others are still trying to find their way. And that’s fine. You don’t have to completely comfortable with yourself if you feel you have a reason not to be. Don’t let anyone make you feel as if you have no right to feel that something about you doesn’t feel right. The moment you acknowledge that you don’t feel right in any way, shape or form, the path to figuring it out and coming to terms with it begins. I am proud to say I’m finally reaching the point where I feel comfortable in my skin and I honestly cannot describe how amazing it feels to finally be able to look at myself in the mirror and feel happy with what I am seeing. To actually feel beautiful because I am different and that I feel that I’m able to say; “This is me and I’m proud of it.” To those that have managed to reach the point of accepting yourself and your body, I am so proud of you for making it. You are all so beautiful and amazing in your own ways and to see you blossoming into the people you are today is the biggest blessing I could ever hope for. To those that have died as a result to some individual’s ignorance and bias, I am going to do my best to make sure that others do not go through what you had endured. I will stand against those that had caused you to feel worthless and show them that though we don’t fit the mould that society sets for us, we are beautiful. Even with our flaws and different shapes, sizes, skin colours, ethnicities etc. we are all completely worth it. And that we deserve to be shown that we are worth as much as anyone else. To those that are still pushing and still carving their path to self-acceptance, I want to let you know that I am here for you. You can come to me if you ever need to and I will do my best to let you vent out anything you need to, rage or anything you feel will help you. I also want you to know that you are beautiful and worth so much. If anyone ever tries to belittle you or make you feel inferior to them in anyway, try your best to brush them off and show them how wrong they are. If you can’t, it’s perfectly ok. It isn’t easy. It’s a hard road to follow with many bumps and dead ends but if you keep at it, you will find yourself at the end a much more stronger and wiser person that you were before. After all, to err is human. I love you all so much, you are beautiful, you are worth it and your flaws are what make you, you. Bambijo out
