“Fuck society’s idea of beauty”? Yeah. It might be the unpopular opinion, but here goes. 

In the worldwide attempt to change people’s views on outer beauty, all anyone is doing is reversing the hate from larger people to thin people. People like me who literally can’t gain the weight. It’s embarrassing, I wear clothes that cover up my bones. Why? Because all these jackasses are going out into the world and convincing people that fat is beautiful. Well I’m here to tell you it isn’t.

WAIT… hear me out.

Neither is skin and bones. The “perfect body” isn’t beautiful. What’s truly and sincerely beautiful to me is a person’s charisma, their heart, their character, their moral foundation, what’s on the inside. Incredibly cliche’, but sometimes cliche’s are cliche’ for a reason. You’re only an ugly human being if you have an ugly personality. Toothpick. Beanpole. Anorexic. Twig. Scrawny. Lanky. Bony. I’m sick of people looking at me and saying things like that and, “God, don’t you ever eat?”, “Well aren’t you just diving right into what society wants you to…”, and FOR GOD’S SAKE, “You need to learn to love yourself the way you are, honey.” I AM THE WAY I AM. I ALREADY AM. I AM.

Yes, those pictures are me. Yes, people do need to learn to love the body they were given, myself included. And people with legitimate self image and eating disorders need to get real help, BUT.

Everyone’s focus needs to be on inner beauty, not outer. Why do you think it is these beautiful girls hurt themselves so? It is society, if you want to say that… but who do you think makes up society? You. And you’re all going about it the wrong way. I’m trying to prove a point, here. Instead of skinny girls being put on a pedestal and fat girls being tormented, it has just been transposed. Nothing has been accomplished. Next thing you know, girls my size will be tempted to eat themselves into a hospital bed. Did my first words along with my pictures shock you? Did you judge a little? I get looks now like I gross people out. That’s not right to me. Just like when the heavier girls got looks similar to that, I was totally disgusted by how people treated them. That wasn’t right, either. All these folks saying don’t judge a book by its cover, love people the way they are, you know what?

You’re the ones judging! You’re the ones not loving! You’re the ones putting pictures of thin girls next to pictures of heavier girls with the caption being, “right and wrong”, “this, not this”, and asking people which is more beautiful. The response should be, “Well, I don’t know either of them, so I couldn’t tell you.” The intentions are good, but it’s still wrong. Very wrong. Your opinion has been tweaked a little, but you’re still caught up in the outward appearance. It just isn’t negative toward the same group as it was before.

It needs to stop completely. Not just focused elsewhere. 

Shit just got real, I’m not sorry.
