βWarning long postβ Sooooo yesterday someone approached me and said, "You got that 'FOX EYE' huh?" In my mind I was like ooookay what does that mean. When I left the conversation I was a little bewildered. Decided to Google it, and oh my! First of all I must say this, as a kid I was TEASED MERCILESSLY about the shape of my eyes (they were a LOT tighter than they are today) I was called all kinds of names: cat woman, chink, chank, and other derogatory names used against Asian people. Kids would walk by me and pull their eyes up on the side. For the LONGEST, I was extremely self conscience about my eyes. It wasn't until I got to be an adult, that I truly started to embrace my eyes, and a lot of the other features that I didn't like about myself as a kid! Why didn't I like them? Well you see, kids can be extremely cruel to other kids who may be a little different from them. It's not just a Black, Asian or Bi-racial thing, it's a multi cultural issue. If you are the least bit different, for one reason or another, you were ridiculed because of it. So yes, NOW I embrace the shape of my eyes, which took me a minute to do! So if you see me on the streets, and my eyes + eye makeup are exaggerated somewhat, I'm not culturally appropriating anyone or any ethnicity, I've just learned to love me... JUST THE WAY I AM! Bc HUNTYYYYY, my eye shape is a thing folks are paying long money for! #π#foxeyes #loveyourself #kidswillbekids #whatyouhatenowyouwilllovelater #thestruggleisreal #growingpains #weareovercomers #πͺπ½ #kidchronicles #weallhaveastory #staystrong #joycomesinthemorning #youngqueen #youngking #riseup #hatersgonnahate #selflove #selflovejourney https://www.instagram.com/p/CUTWKhrrl40/?utm_medium=tumblr
