i started surrounding myself with positivity. i made sure to always remind myself that while there was nothing wrong with wanting to improve upon a certain aspect of myself, i was beautiful no matter what, and any improvements should be done for me, and me alone. i shouldn't have to change who i am for anyone else. i started affirming myself and got into manifestation and assumption. i became closer to God, who made me in a wonderful way and knows my universe of secrets. i think the one of the most important things in life is to put yourself in places where you feel amazing and loved and walk away from places that make you feel otherwise. now i know that in the eyes of those that truly matter, i look amazing, inside and out. i'm still improving, and i'm not immune to hurtful words just yet, but innocent remarks don't bother me anymore. if slim-thick girls are the preference of most people, so be it. all bodies that are well taken care of are beautiful, including slim-thick bodies. i love myself, and do not feel intimidated by any body type. that's my message to all girls out there. take care of yourself, and love yourself. that girl doesn't attend my school anymore. if I had found a way to change myself completely because of her and other people's words, i might've gained more approval, but i'd still be empty inside. when your sense of worth comes from inside you, nothing anyone says can knock you down for long.
