Big and Beautiful

   Growing up my biggest insecurity were the size of my lips. They are very thick, full and well rounded. All the kids throughout my elementary and middle school years all made fun of me because of them. Soup coolers is what they referred to them as. Even until this day I still get very rude comments about them. Often sexual ones too. 

  All the condescending remarks built my insecurity and it made it extremely hard to embrace them. I had a very difficult time accepting my physical appearance. I started to even believe that I was ugly... I hated myself for having big lips. 

  As I got older I noticed that full lips were trending. Stars such as Angelina Jolie and Kim Kardashian were partaking in extremities such as getting lip injections to achieve this look. That's when I finally came to my senses. Full lips and all I was beautiful and if anyone said anything otherwise it did not matter! I learned to love myself because I was created this way. 

  Learn to love yourself flaws and all because they are what make you into the beautiful women or men you are today. Embrace them like there is no tomorrow and don't let anyone tell you anything different. 

 

  YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! 

 

Fierce & Love,
