You are Beautiful

People... This is me. Shirtless.... It's actually taking A LOT... LIKE A HELL OF A LOT TO PUT THIS ON MY BLOG... but I put it here for a reason. Look at this body shape. Its not Thin, it's not what Vogue, or or People, or Cosmopolitan magazine would call "Attractive" but you know what? I am attractive. My bone structure is bigger than your average model's bone structure.

For SO SO EFFING LONG I have been depressed about the way my body looks. About the reaction I get when people see me shirtless... or at least, the reaction my head told me I'd get... You know what. I'm a beautiful person. And so are you. No matter how big or how small. How tall or short, No matter the colour of your hair, or skin tone you are all beautiful people. I want you to go to the mirror, take off your shirt and look at yourself.

Look at yourself and realize that you are enough, you are a wonderful and beautiful person. And it's not about what's on the outside that matters, it's who you are on the inside that counts...

My upper body is all muscle, everything below my waist is pretty much muscle. The only extra fat that I have is my mid-drift, and my love handles. And to be honest. I'm kind of okay with that. I know that I'm beauitful because I have a heart, because I'm there for my friends and family, because I can look past other's skins, and faces, and look to their hearts. I'm not big on looks, I couldn't possibly care less about looks because they don't mean anything to me. In fact... its been in my experience that the socially attractive people, the people that make heads turn when they walk down the street, those people are so shallow, and self centered, and they will most likely stab you in the back.

I'm not saying that all the people are like that, but it's just what's been in my life.

I have scars, I have stretch marks, I have the emotional bruises, and the residual pain, but you know what. Forget them, I look at those and know that there are other people out there just like me, and others that are still in that place of cutting, or looking at themselves in the mirror and just getting filled with negative emotions.

You don't need it. You don't need the negative emotions, you don't need the scars.

What you do need is to understand that as long as you have a heart, and you can look to the future with hope and try to do something with yourself then you can't possibly be ugly. If you don't like the way you look, take another look, everyday take a look at yourself in the mirror, understand that social media is looking for a way to make money on diet pills, and gym memberships and everything else that they possibly can, by making you feel bad about the way you look. DON'T GET SUCKED IN! You are a beautiful person and YOU ARE LOVED.... And you are beautiful. I can not CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE!

Treat people with love, with respect, and kind warmth... That is beauty, forget Vogue, or Cosmo or whatever it is. Forget the runway models, because THEY don't feel good enough about themselves to be able to look themselves in the mirror, so they go to other people, what are they without the cameras? Without the clothing, the fame? The runway?
What are they? A skinny person that doesn't have anything...

I"m not completely bagging on them, don't get me wrong, but it's ridiculous that I hear my friends who are a size zero saying they're fat... It's NOT OKAY!

Do you see what i'm trying to say? You're beauitful, don't let anyone, ANYONE tell you otherwise.
