True story

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...

Skinny Shaming

Ok, so i’m not trying to get you to pity me, but I felt the need to address this. I’m a size 0-2 (depends on the store), and I weigh less than 100 pounds. I eat what I want, exercise regularly, participate in PE, and my doctors say I am at a healthy weight for my height (i’m barely 5 feet). I constantly get called anorexic behind my back, when in reality I am very healthy. I eat veggies, fruit, protein, all that good stuff. But I also eat cakes, cookies, snickers, candies, ice cream, etc. And no, I do not throw it all up. It’s just the way I am, I was born with this body type. But something I’ve been noticing on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and in real life, is that when people are trying to defend and comfort someone more curvy,  often times we just insult people who are slim. Sometimes that evolves into stereotyping people who are slim to be anorexic, ugly, and just disgusting. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against people with curves. I think everyone is beautiful, but this just pisses me off so much. I mean, I’m starting to feel bad about being slim! What I want everyone reading this to remember is that

not all slim people have an eating disorder

never insult another group of people to defend another

except all body types

there is such a thing as skinny shaming, and it needs to stop

This needs to be in my wardrobe! 

Take your lessons seriously. Take what you want in life seriously. Write down what you can do better or what you can do more of or what you are grateful for. Celebrate and honour yourself. Stand up for yourself. Take yourself seriously. Think of how things will impact you in the long run so that you don’t make the same mistake again. Make sure you see people for who they really are. Take time off when you need to. Get back up again when you feel ready to do so.

Life's hard when you're Black, and run out of leave in conditioner.

Just the thought stressed me out…
