I always hate it when girls say “But I’m fat,” and then I automatically reply with “No you aren’t!” because that isn’t what I want to say.
What I want to say is a century ago you would have been a goddess.
What I want to say is you are a goddess now.
What I want to say is that society stole that word from you.What I want to say is “So what? Fat does not mean ugly. Fat is not a bad word. You are fat. I am fat. And we are beautiful.”
What I want to say is fat and ugly are not synonymous.
What I want to say is my god, if you are fat, be fat, but fall in love with yourself all the same because you are so much more than weight and weight has never been everything.
But I always say “No you aren’t!” and they always know I’m lying.
GOD THANK YOU. I have fought my way through the mire of pronouncing this concept for years, and for someone like myself whose whole world revolves around my ability to make words do what I want them to, that’s been incredibly frustrating.
My friends talk about how they’re fat and I want to scream for not having the words to say what I mean.
This is what I mean.
