#scoliotic

there is this post that I made a while ago on body positivity and how it never includes disabled people (in my case scoliotic) and it still gets some attention as it pops up in my notifications that someone liked it or whatever from time to time but while I still agree with my main point (so I ain’t deleting it) I’m kind of embarrassed over it so that I don’t even want to comment under that one but I don’t think being ‘pretty’ in the social norm standard is that important anymore - it obviously helps you in life as you’re more likely to get a job or people tend to like you more - but I don’t even want my appearance to be the key to get those things, I feel like what’s inside of you is way more important than what you look like and I don’t really find myself ugly anymore and no, I don’t hate my body. I’m kind of embarrassed of what I used to think of myself in my younger teens because that is so shallow and there are far more important stuff. Not having self confidence and at least some sort of kindness towards yourself is one of the most self-destructive things you can do. I never want to be an example of such behaviour. Both for myself, and for my ‘target audience’. So yes, I have a fucking severe scoliosis but boom - you can still accept yourself and live past that. because living is about something else.
