Hello everyone.
I’m Ayesha, i’m 14 and i’m around 117 pounds.
For years i’ve been so insecure of myself. I have avoided going our with my friends, avoided wearing the clothes I like, avoided everything that could make me feel worse about myself.
For a large part of my life, i’ve felt ugly and fat. I’ve hated the way I look and how much prettier my friends are than me. I weighed a lot a few years ago. About 130 to 140 pounds. But I told myself I was getting unhealthy. I started to exercise more and cut down on my fat-intake. Naturally, I just lost weight. I didn’t need to died, I just needed to change my lifestyle a bit.
Then I started going on the internet more. I found people like me. I made a best friend called Chloe, who makes me feel good about myself every day. I found tumblr.
I finally realised that looks aren’t everything. It’s what’s on the inside that counts. I met people online who don’t give a care in the world what I look like. They love me anyway.
I meet people now who say they hate themselves. They’re ‘not perfect’. They want to lose weight. They want to be skinny. No. No you don’t. You don’t need to lose weight. You don’t need make-up. Everyone is beautiful. Though none of us are perfect, we all have our flaws. Flaws are what make us what we are.
I’m not the prettiest or the skinniest out of my friends. I’m different. But i’m beautiful. And so is everyone else.
BE BRAVE! JOIN THE REVOLUTION!
