I may be flabby.
And you may laugh at me.
I may be meaty.
And surely, you can bully me.
I may be fat.
But I still have a heart.
I may be stout.
But please don’t give me doubts.
Yes, I am chubby.
But you have no right to tell me “I’m not worthy.”
Yes, I am not sexy.
But I can confidently say, “I’m happy.”
Now, let me ask you.
“Are you as happy as me?”

And to some? “Fat, flabby, overweight, chunky, chubby, big-boned” whatever the label IS sexy. It’s all a matter of perspective. For me? Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. Good words.

Powerful stuff! But I do have to disagree: sexiness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and personally I believe confidence is the key factor in determining someone’s sexiness. It really is something that comes from within as opposed to what’s on the surface.

I honestly experienced it mostly as “jokes” from my high school friend. Because they are mostly thin and I am always the biggest so they poke fun at my weight.
That is why I kinda grew tired being with them. They are also materially richer than me so they also poke fun at my “not-designer” shoes and clothes or whatsoever.
But yeah. I am happy of who I am and what I have. 😉 I think it’s in the matter of perspective, always! ❤

It’s definitely a matter of perspective. It’s funny how all the stuff that we thought important in high school lime designer clothes etc is not important now.
