Things I Love and Things I Learn

This girl gave me a GLORIOUS start to the day today. I love her for this video. Many of you know I'm a fat girl. I've learned to live with that after 30 years. I have trouble with some things sometimes she mentions at the beginning of the video. I don't hate myself or even my body in any way. I'm uncomfortable with it at times, but I don't hate it. I do have trouble from time to time thinking I'm worthy of love and it takes me a while to admit that someone might love me.

It's a weird truth, I know I'm awesome but I shy away from genuine affection. It's something I struggle with and becomes an annoyance to myself and....others. There's only so much patience a girl can ask for.

She's so right, though. "Fat" is not an insult itself. It's just a state of being, a physical attribute like my hazel eyes or my awesome boobs and I have those thanks to my fat. What is insulting is the connotations people assign to "fat." Listen to her, She's smart, passionate and articulate.
