Note:
So I've been wanting to make this thread for a while.
I just thought people would laugh at me. Like, how could such a cold-hearted, insensitive, rude person like me have... f-feelings?
xD
Well, as a matter of fact, I do have feelings.
A lot of them.
This thread is for the girl striving to be a size 0.
This thread is for the boy striving to have the biggest muscles. (Why did that make me laugh...? xD)
This thread is for the people striving to be... something they're not.
Also, if you believe you're utterly impeccable, and all you're gonna do is leave a presumptuous hate message here, I suggest you stop reading.

First of all, I know some people in real life and on these forums, who don't exactly like the way they look.
Who want to be someone else.
Who want to look like someone else.
One of those people were me.
As some of you know, I have hypothyroidism (Givin' meh a lil' extra junk in the trunk xD).
For years, I hated having it. I still hate having it to this day.
I thought since I wasn't skinny like the other girls, I was ugly.
An outcast.
Unwanted.
So, I decided to change.
When I turned 11, I saw all these beautiful models on magazines and television.
All skinny, toned, gorgeous. (My Mum was a model, and Pixie did modelling for a while.)
And then I looked at myself.
I thought I was disgusting.
I hated myself.
Anyway, I began exercising wayyy too much and eating less.
It wasn't working.
So I ate less.
And less.
And less.
Until I was barely eating anything.
My Mum didn't notice, because I'd always throw my food away, so she thought I ate it.
I'm ashamed of this, when I ever did eat anything... Let's just say I wouldn't keep it down.
This went on for weeks. Months.
Eventually, I stopped. Nothing was working.
If you've already guessed it...
Yes, I did have an eating disorder.
11 years old with an eating disorder.
11.
(Enough about me, it's embarrassing, I know...)
Now, I accept myself for who I am.
I know I'll never be bone skinny.
I know I'm not extremely stunning.
I know that.
But, I know that I'm beautiful, even with my flaws.
I know that.
But... why don't you?
Why don't you know you're beautiful?
If it wasn't for society and all the negativity and body shaming, would you really look in the mirror and despise what you see?
If it wasn't for the reluctantly glamorous models with the perfect body, would you really despise your own body?
Imagine if all the body shaming didn't exist, would you really hate yourself? Think about it.
Would you really hate your flaws?
Because, really, our flaws are what makes us unique.
Our flaws are what make us beautiful.
Our flaws are what make us different.
Our flaws are what make us... us.
You're all beautiful just the way you are.
And, no, you don't have to be as skinny as a freakin' stick to be pretty.
And, no, you don't have to have the biggest muscles to be attractive.
Just be you.
That's what makes you all beautiful.
Sincerely,
The-Almost-13-Year-Old-Australian-With-The-Weirdest-Accent-Ever-AKA-Phoenix. xD
Please no hate, this is just supposed to be a little positivity. ^w^
