A Puny Confession.
To clear things up, I am 13 years old. So, last year, I experienced something that fortunately, I was able to cope up with.
It was summer. I was (and still am) a girl on the chubby side. I was really upset with how I appeared. And to be honest, the people who should have supported me were ironically the ones who caused me to do it. First, my relatives, they were always like, “Oh, you’re so fat for your age… Don’t you ever plan to reduce?… blah blah. Then, there was my mom. Although my logical side knew that she was just joking, my emotional side knew less. Every meal, I would try to ‘purge’. Poking my uvula and puking acidic, foul-smelling vomit. Then there were even times that I would eat excessively plenty, to turn out purging in the end. I also suffered from depression. I felt, I believed that I was a useless and very ugly girl. There were even times that I would purposely hit, hurt myself. Seeing the distorted faces of beautiful, skinny girls everywhere. Billboards, T.V., internet. Be it even in pantie liner and shampoo sachets.
Then, it hit me. Like a spitball on the face. After months of hurting and making myself suffer from hunger, what did I get? Nothing. I didn’t even lose a single milligram, I even gained. I realized that I was… and am a beautiful and special girl. I know it’s cliche, but it won’t be repeated many times if it wasn’t true right? Everyone of us is a special puzzle piece of the universe or whatever else is out there. We may be a tiny speck of dust compared to the gargantuan stars and planets. But in the end, the world won’t be the same without every single one of us. So, learn to love and embrace yourself, just the way you are. Be it your muscly legs, your short eyelashes, your flared nostrils, your stuffed arms. In the end, we are not only judged by what the eyes see, but what we show them.
Hi po! Pa-like neto *link* thankssss! :)))))
Hala? Demanding ate? Ang nakakainis lang naman kasi, ginagawang basehan ng kagandahan ang mga ‘Likes’. Sa totoo lang, hindi naman masama na marame ang nagli-like ng picture ng isang tao. Keme ba kung talaga namang kaakit-akit yung picture di ba? Pero ang point ko, bakit kailangan mo pa talaga magPA-like.
Fishing for compliments masyado? Wala akong galet sa mga taong gumagawa non. Ang sa aken lang, hindi maganda e, parang mababaw.
Seryoso, sa lahat ng mga babae, maganda ka, hindi mo naman kailangan na ipagmakaawa na i-like yung litrato mo. Eleksyon ba teh?
Hindi lang likes ang basehan ng kagandahan mo bilang tao. Besides, nasa social networking lang naman e. So why bother diba?
