Life

People make life seem so simple and I just want to tell everyone that it's not and that it's okay to feel that way. Coming from personal experience I know that I can get hard sometimes. Being bullied growing up I know what it feels like to feel weird because other people just make life look so much easier, but we may not know what's really going on. We all in a way put on a mask to cover up how we feel, look, and our insecurities. For example, I do not feel like I should post anything on Instagram unless I have makeup on. I think that a lot of this stems from being bullied when I was younger, but really there's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone isn't perfect, skinny, and beautiful, like those big models like Gigi Hadid and Kendell Jenner, but we don't know, they could be going through depression or an eating disorder. Then there's other models such as Ashley Graham who advocates for people who are a little bigger and who don't always have that confidence that others have.
To all those people who think they are fat, ugly, dumb, too smart, or anything else I just want to tell you that you are wrong. I'm not just saying this to say this I have had personal experiences with these things, I was bullied, I have self-esteem issues and I saying this to help other people who might feel this way. Give yourself a little credit because you have made it through life this far and I know that whatever is happening to you, you can get through this. Personally, if you do feel these ways, I just want to tell you to talk to someone about this, if its a friend, a parent, a sibling, or even a professional, don't wait until you are ready to burst.
Goodbye'
