Well let me just begin by describing how I look. The first thing you would notice about me is that I am tall. Well that I am but not so much. I am 5'-9" tall but I look more than that cause I am thin. I am not size 0, just one size short of it, I am size 1. And yes it is all me naturally/genetically. I am not bulimic or anorexic, I am blessed in a way that I can eat whatever I like without starving my self and not add an inch to my waist line. I am not boasting but I can't change it, that's how I am. And I am happy for what I am and I like to celebrate it by dressing up nicely. Given that I am so thin and tall most of the things that I wear look good on me, I can pretty much pull off anything. And for the things that I can't pull off, well I won't wear them. I am extremely conscious of how I dress.
But people around me, please stop making me feel bad. It is bad enough that you have issues with the way you look. Don't try to put it in my head that I need to gain weight. 'Cause seriously, I am quite healthy (in the true sense) as compared to you. I can walk miles without getting exhausted and I am quite fit for most of the physical activities or sports. I respect you people and I refrain from sharing my opinion about your weight or looks. And I expect the same from you. Telling someone to their face that they are fat is considered rude. But people don't think twice before telling me, 'oh my god! You are so thin!' Shouldn't the same rule apply?
See I am not expecting you to compliment me 'cause it is seriously asking for too much considering your insecurities. But please let me feel normal. Let me be happy for the way I look.
It's surprising to see how different people react differently. There are strangers on the street nudging each other and pointing at me at times (like I am some giraffe walking on the street :P). Some people chose to just stare, even if I stare back they won't relent (last time I checked it was considered rude to stare). Very few people I know are indifferent or normal and not make a comment but other grab make a point of saying something. Giving me tips to gain weight, telling me how to dress so I won't look thin, point jokes at me, and some girls are plain bitchy. To put them at ease I join in their jokes and laugh at myself. I am secure enough to do that without feeling bad. Several times I have considered putting on weight and look 'conventionally acceptable'. But I am tired of all this. Why should I change when I like myself the way I am?
They are beautiful people and I appreciate things that are nice. But they fail to see that for themselves. They seem to be bogged down too much by what they consider to be their flaws. Even if one compliments them very few accept gracefully the others go on a tirade complaining about all that they feel is wrong with them. It is all in their minds, if they just put their insecurities aside they would be much peaceful and happy. And I can't help them to do that.
So well all you people give your wagging tongues and clouded minds a rest. Step aside and make way for 'The Diva.'
