So many people get so upset over their weight and clothes size, and it's insane that numbers can make or wreck your day. One little number can break you down in tears. Little squiggly lines. It's so out of order. What's become of the world?

 

I could take a permanent marker and change the number on a pair of jeans to a smaller one, and maybe the person wearing them would feel a little better, but it wouldn't change who they were. It wouldn't change the reasons the people love them. It wouldn't change their personality, their history, their life. At the end of the day, it's just a little number that so much fuss is made over.

People get so upset thinking they're not good enough, they think that if the number on the scale is too high it means they're a failure. Why should they have to think that? What right does society have to make them feel that way?! People come in all shapes and sizes. Some people are small, some people are tall, some people are skinny and some are big, but that has nothing to do with their personality. The only reason you should change anything like that is if you have to, for health reasons etc, but it's just awful that barely anyone can be happy with who they are these days.

Media shows all these images of people who all look a certain way, and because they label that style as 'beauty' everyone then accepts it. Surely that isn't how it should be? Everybody is different shapes and sizes, but at the end of the day, that isn't what matters. Your friends don't talk to you because of your clothes size, your family don't love you because of your weight. They love you for who you are, and that's what counts.

I just think it's crazy that those little numbers on clothes and scales can seem of so much importance. They're just little numbers, and they hardly change anything.

Stay strong,
because in the end it will be
worth it.
