that glittering instrument, the human soul

@morelmand3rs had made this beautiful submission few weeks ago and I'm sorry I couldn't get to it until now, just been a few busy weeks for me and I didn't feel quite like myself.

Anyway, back to the beautiful story that she shared

@morelmand3rs is currently a grad student getting her masters in library and information science from UCLA and hoping to be a librarian when she graduates.

About her body positivity journey,

"I was always chubby as a kid but struggled with an eating disorder in college. At my thinnest, I was a size 0 and constantly fasting, exercising, and purging. Something clicked when I realized that as much as my body changed, I still felt unhappy with myself. I’ve realized since that it’s way more important to focus on my attitude and mental health so that I can be happy at any size. Seeing other girls who aren’t super thin looking gorgeous and happy as part of the body positivity movement has been a huge help to me, so I don’t let gaining weight get in the way of my confidence."

I really loved your words @morelmand3rs and thank you for being such an inspiration for our blog💗

Black girls are soft.

Black girls are delicate.

Black girls are feminine.
