Gonna postpone the continuation of my "my sweetest downfall" because I am not in the mood to reminisce everything today.
I'm thinking of what topic to share when I saw this photo of us way back in 2018 then I remember someone's body-shamed me on Facebook.
Have you ever been bullied especially about your body? Teasing you for being too skinny or chubby. Well, I experienced being bullied when I was in grade school. They bullied me because of my skin color, they teased me for being a morena. I think 90's
kids find mestiza people prettier in their eyes haha. Like what I shared here before, I'm a weak kid back then that's why I'm an easy target. Sometimes I cried, but I ignored them most of the time. Someone said that "yeah, you have curves but still not you're not that pretty". I don't understand why they're teasing me when I'm quiet and don't even interact with those bullies. I learned the art of deadma early but it doesn't mean that I'm not hurting, I am just a kid, and I don't know how to handlebullies before.
I think I had early puberty because my body changed earlier than the others, but eventually stopped, even my height growth stopped, lol hahahahaha.
Then I experienced body shaming for the first time 3 years ago. One of my senior in college commented on a particular picture that I posted on Facebook. I chose not to post it here, so you can't tease me too lol. It's a group picture of us enjoying our pose and I didn't wear the cover-up that I'm wearing in the photo. I always wear a cover-up because I'm hiding my scar from an appendectomy, and now I have another one, my cholecystectomy. My skin is keloidal, that's why no matter how clean the stitches were, it doesn't look good. That time, because I'm with my cousins and I removed my cover-up for a while and took a decent group photo. I just use the power of angle to hide my scar haha. Anyways, that person commented that I'm flat pertaining to my little boobies. (not flat but not big, just a little lol). He was my college friend actually, but we're not even that close especially these days because he keeps pestering me on social media. Because of what he did, I answered him sarcastically, in the comment section of course. "who cares about my boobies, mind your own, I don't even care about the size of your -----. " You know what I mean lol.
Honestly, body shaming is new to me because I used to be slim, but this situation is not related to the weight that I gained, it's about my lil boobies lol. Ever since I don't even care if I don't have Cup C, D or E? lol... see I don't even know the cups hahahahaha. We all have insecurities but having little boobies is not part of mine. Why? They say that be contented and flaunt what you have. My buttocks have a decent size and shape, I don't even need to wear a butt pad. So I'm gonna focus on my own charm, lol, just kidding, I don't have charm haha.
What irritates me was he commented on my facebook post, and it was a group photo of me and my cousins. I'm a cool person, if you want to talk nonsense or trash talks with me I'm in, but make sure that you're going to make it in a private or personal message. Because if you insulted me publicly, I'm going to give you the taste of your own medicine. I'm a nice and friendly person but don't push me to be mean. I'm very far from my old old self. I don't just cry and hide anymore.
Remember, everybody has their own struggles, regardless of whether you can see them or not. Be mindful of your actions. You never know what someone is going through. You bullied a girl for being fat and now she's suffering from anorexia, the girl you bullied for being skinny is now having a hard time because no matter what she eats she never gains weight, and it frustrates her every day.
Beauty isn't measured in pounds. It's measured in being. In this world that trying to make you heartless. Be kind. Choose to be kind.
Yess no to body shaming from now on lessen na pang uurat ko sayo wahahahah, char lang xD, sorry for being rude and sometimes insensitive sa pang aasar
