They used to tease me in elementary school for so many things -- being fat, getting good grades, having a large vocabulary, and having the illest name on the planet, among other things (my name is Simone M. Samuels so they'd call me "Simone Monsieur Samuels" or "Sim One" or "Simon with an e." So stupid...). 👃 They also teased me for my nose, telling me that it was "so big." "Too big" even. 👃 Oddly enough, the things that I was once teased for are the things that I now absolutely adore about myself. 😍 👃 (And it also helped me learn how to recognize a hater when I see one. Plus, in retrospect, many of the ones doing the teasing had octagonal shaped heads and so some people really shouldn't talk. #petty #pettylabelle #immabepetty #sorrynotsorry) 👃 I like my nose. I came to the realization that my nose did what it was supposed to do -- breathe and smell -- so it was JUST fine. 👃 So to my fellow big-nosed instagrammer @radhikasanghani , I say thank you for spearheading the campaign on breaking the big nose taboo. I'm all here for #sideprofileselfie. #bignose #bignosegirl #bignosedontcare (at Ottawa, Ontario)
