"Life isn’t about how many people call you and it’s not about who you’ve dated, are dating, or haven’t dated at all. It’s not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness, and compassion. It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It’s about what you say and what you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not for what they have. Most of all, it’s about living your life to touch someone else’s."
I found that at http://fuckyeahconfidence.tumblr.com .It's so very true and I try to live by every word. fuckyeahconfidence is a great blog about learning to love yourself! I read it every day!
So, I discovered this picture on Tumblr. (Yes. I have a tumblr. If you'd like to know which it is, let me know. =] ) It was on http://voluptuosity.tumblr.com . I love this particular blog because pretty much every post is a GORGEOUS picture of a BBW.This picture, to me, is SO powerful. I think all big girls should embody this! Keep your head held high and own your body, because it's beautiful.
I shan't ignore this place anymore. =)
So I've been doing alot of thinking lately, and I've made a firm decision for the route of this blog.
I've been looking at alot of fat acceptance activism blogs in the recent weeks and I've drawn the conclusion that I'm really not fond of the approach alot of them take. Many of them simply focus on the negatives; how the media tears fat people down, how the industry discriminates against us, how people always judge us. They focus on everything WRONG with the fatisphere instead of what's beautiful and RIGHT with it. So instead of talking about the problems we face and always being in battle mode, this blog is going to take a different direction.
This is going to be a feel-good fat acceptance blog. ANYTHING negative that I post from here on out will have some sort of happy ending. Or a silver lining.
