omaewokorosu | i could really use a wish right now (Reply)

My friend Lisette told me to spread this around, so that's exactly what I'm doing!

You must love you for YOU, and love the fact that you are alive...(my rant about bullying and self-esteem)

a little less than a month, and summer will be over. and I’ve learned alot of things, majoirty from when i was grounded.
friends WILL replace you. its just how it is. what I mean is friends will always come and go, unless you have that one special someone. in this case, i have 4. <3 i feel like i’ll never lose them..i hope i don’t. they mean far too much to me. one i have known since i was in 1st grade, im greatful she is still in my life. you will deal with alot of backstabbing, but it will show you really loves you and who are your REAL friends.
i also learned that, no matter what, there is always going to be ONE person in the world that will try to put you down. there is always going to be someone that will try to break you. but that shouldn’t stop you from being who you are. don’t let lowlifes, jerks, dicks, assholes, BUTTholes ruining your days. some people would sadly kill just to see people frown, because it makes them feel superior. you must stand up to them and prove that you literally, do not give a shit about what others say.
i get made fun of alot. i get called fat, ugly, weird, slut, stupid all the time. i was once told that i had a distorted face. I’m told from time to time that i have a weird body shape and look. it used to hurt me, i remember i used to be depressed for days just because of what a group of kids would say to me…i used to believe them, and my self-esteem would always just go down the tube. I used to cry for days, wishing I was at beautiful as all the hollywood stars, the models on the magazines, how super skinny I wish to be..
not anymore.
everyone is different and unique. everyone is beautiful in their own way. nobody should look a certain way. im learning to embrace my body. IN MY OPINION, thick woman are rather sexy :) (although im not really thick, i call myself big-boned). nobody was born perfect…everyone has imperfections. i wish there were more people who thought like me…if there was, the world would be a happy place to live in.
back then, bigger/thick woman were called beautiful. now its like the smallest inch of fat you have, you are called fat… well, im exaggerating, but you get what I’m saying?
okay, so I CANNOT STAND JERSEY SHORE, BUT i can’t help to see that literally almost the WHOLE WORLD is calling ‘Snooki’ fat…she isn’t fat, she’s THICK. i actually think her body is nice. idk thats just me, i guess.
and HOW the HELL can you have the NERVE to make fun of handicapped people? like its THEIR fault that they were born without legs, arms, the ability to hear, the ability to see, speak… ..just think, how would YOU feel like if you were made fun of everyday, just because of something that you were born with? Do you know how much they struggle?
i learned, that you should love who you are…because you are you. you are a different individual among the billions of people in the world. Sure, you may RELATE to someone..but there will never be someone like you. That’s why i feel, each and every one of us should love ourselves..because of lowlifes out there, there are many suicides. you would think that would make them wake up, and make them stop.
i never actually found someone ugly...i always found something cute about each person I have met, something amazing. I only ever called someone ugly, if it was about their PERSONALITY. if they were rude/mean/etc.
who cares if you have small boobs?
who cares if you arent skinny like the models?
each and every one of us has something great about our ourselves..
like me, im told most of the time..that i have a nice smile...and a big butt.
some of my friends have beautiful EYES...or NOSES.
you must love you for you, and love the fact that you are alive.
what drew me to write this was one of my best friends who is going through this almost everyday (name will not be mentioned) and this video of a man..who has no legs or arms. he is truly an inspiration.
“it’s a lie to think you are not good enough. it’s a lie to think, that you aren’t worth anything…every single girl is beautiful. you are gorgeous just the way you are…and boys, you the man!”
