What we see in the mirror does not always satisfy us, is it because we are subjected to what perfection looks like?. Many people blame the media and forget that the people who are around us carry the most influence. Sadly we aren't all born with tough skin, I will admit I am one of those people who is sensitive to what is said to me. Over the years with maturity I have learnt to deal with it better yet I have been the subject to many "Your way too skinny" comments.
I wish i had known then that everyone's definition of beauty is not the same. They may not see you as beautiful but those who see fault are often the ones who have the bigger problem. I still get people telling me that I am too skinny even when I mention I have gained weight. I am not defined by your thoughts of my image what matters is my thoughts. Self hate is the worst kind of hate don't let others make you hate who you are or how you look. Know that many always walk past the treasure because it isn't what society tells them it looks like. Those who look deeper are the ones you want around you and those are the amazing friendships.
We are all flawed.... learn to embrace it because you have to live in your own skin. May as well love the skin you are in because darling it will forever remain. Whichever size you maybe that does not define your beauty, find what true beauty is to you. Be happy with who you are or suffer the emotional bullying given by others.
