Musings-of-fi

I think this is my new favorite quote. 

This is a picture of something I did at my school last year. I wrote out 1,986 sticky notes that each said “You’re beautiful” and stuck one to every locker in my entire school. I was so sick of people saying they weren’t beautiful, and I was so sick of people feeling bad about themselves. For one day, I wanted everyone to feel beautiful. So I did it. It took me over 6 hours to write them all, and an hour to stick them all. I never intended for anyone to find out it was me, but when I was found on camera for doing it and called to the deans office, everyone found out. They threatened a three day suspension. The students made a petition with over 600 signatures. It was amazing. For one day, I felt beautiful. And for one day, I managed to make every kid in my school smile. Every locker got one. Everyone is beautiful.

A few days later, I Had someone, a complete stranger approach me. And she told me, “That day, I was planning on killing myself. I had given up completely on society. Because of you I didn’t. You gave me hope. Thank you.”

She is now one of my best friends.

I think this is so true. I’m ready. My heart and mind is open.

statement from the Brown family

as a dark skinned woman

i have never felt less than because of my skin

never been told i’m pretty for a dark skinned chieck

never told someone didn’t like me because i was dark skinned

however

my experience doesn’t negate the terrible things other women have had to...

When you try to pick up a conversation with someone you haven’t talked to in a while and used to be close to, but you notice that they don’t make any effort to talk to you and just push you further away to the point where you realize that things have changed and it’d be probably better to let go. People come and go, sadly. Even the ones you thought you’d never lose.

So true...

It's sad.

1/3 part of me: I want to be cute and delicate and have a petite body.

1/3 part of me: I want to look smokin' hot and sexy in a bikini and have curves and a fuck you attitude

1/3 part of me: I don't even care man I can totally eat all of that cake watch me
