It's Never What You Think

Don’t call me beautiful. Because I know it’s a lie. You feel like you have to say I’m pretty, argue with me when I say “I’m fat” or “I’m Ugly”. And I don’t say it because I’m fishing for compliments. I say it because I’ve accepted it. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll never be a pretty girl.

And no one should tell an ugly girl she’s beautiful, the same no one should tell someone who’s tone deaf they can sing. Because then they believe it’s true, and they audition for X Factor, and people laugh. And then of course I cry. I cry because I’m a very empathetic person. And I feel people’s hurt and embarrassment. And it makes me cry. And I know, that somewhere along the line, someone told that person that they had a nice voice, and they believed that horrible person. And then they auditioned for X Factor. And people laughed. And I cried.

Well, it’s the same for ugly people. And fat people. Don’t try and convince people they’re something they’re not. It’s a good thing that people come to terms with who they really are. No one should try and destroy that just to make them feel better, or like you more. It’s not good. Not good for anyone.

So, I’m fat. And I’m ugly. Got a problem with that? Didn’t think so.
