“eVeRyOnE iS bEaUtiFuL” and other lies



Radical self-love. That’s radical, dude. “LoVe YoUrSeLf, LoVe YoUr BoDy.” It’s bullshit. 

if there's one thing i've learned, it's that love hurts. but respect — that makes the world go round. it’s consistent. it’s practical. and even if you don’t love yourself, you should respect yourself.

i mean, look at me. i've been through the wringer: the least of which are my ughhhh of a rare genetic illness, plus the life-altering car accident. left me stuck in bed, unable to move a muscle. but did that stop me? only kinda. not for long. my big ass fought its way back, regained my mobility, and shed 140-150 pounds in the process. it took me a very long time and my ass is still way big. but I’m working on myself, not standing still waiting for miracles. miracles aren’t coming. all i have is me.

these days, i can honestly say that i… accept my body. i'm grateful for everything it can still do, even in the toughest times. at the end of the day, if i can just squeeze out one more day on this planet with my proto-terminally-ill self, thats a win.

here's to celebrating the beauty in everyone, and empowering others to accept themselves too.
