#yourselfaslove

as long as i can remember, i've always been seen as the bigger kid, by family, by friends, and by my mirror. i was a bigger kid.

i struggled. i didn’t want to be the big kid. growing up under the constant mindset and reminders from my peers that my size was different, that my size mad eye stick out, either too tall or overweight up until biology caught up with the rest of them.

throwing up your meals, starving yourself, extreme diets, intense workouts, what was it for? i wanted to fit the scope I was being viewed under.

i wanted to be like the others so badly that i hid myself, from myself. looking back at old pictures, all that is seen is my body, but not me.

looking back resembles a sad story, a story of no self acceptance, no self love, no self respect. looking back is what now keeps me moving forward.

the phrase don't look back rarely resonates with me. looking back is what drives me. looking back is what encourages me to keep making positive advancements in my life.

find what makes you you. glorify it. be confident. take your differences and make them strengths. use your strengths to fix your wrongs, and you soon to will become happy.
