There is no PERFECT. But we are all perfectly amazing!
There I said it, can we all just move on now? I used to get very upset when people would say "oh you look so good" as if I was awful or anyway inferior before I lost my weight? I've learned to politely educate people and say "Thank you, I feel healthier and that's all that really matters." I looked great before my surgery and I continue to look great after my surgery because I am perfectly amazing.
Now I know most people mean well they complimented me and I love compliments but we all as a society need to collectively say this word together ACCEPTANCE. We are ok, you're alive and breathing. You want to eat chips and wear sweats all day? ok do what makes you happy. You like men or women, who cares? Can you make an awesome mac n cheese? There are more important issues, people.
If I could make one wish it would be that for all bodies to be accepted for their size, gender, orientation, color, and anything else. Can you imagine that world?, a world where there is no criticism for who we are? Then you can truly know people based on their character and the choices they make in life. Establishing connections would be easy with no preconcieved notions. Oh you love chocolate and steampunk, who cares if you have two boyfriends? I don't. The things that matter to me:
1. Are you a decent person? (somewhat law abiding, morally sound individual)
2. Are you kind?
3. Do you live by the rule "treat others, how you want to be treated?"
4. If you made bad choices, did you fix them or try to?
Yep, that's pretty much it, now for me I still need to be educated on acceptance I don't understand certain things but when I don't understand, I try hard NOT TO JUDGE. I may not choose something for my life but who am I to choose for someone else?
So I am all for this Body positive movement, and any type of acceptance that there is. We are all beautiful and wonderful.
And maybe if we lived in a world where people are accepted, we can all work towards making things better.
Now hit play and dance your heart out to my favorite song:
