“ People always ask me, 'You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?' It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, your home, and you must decorate it. ” (( Gabourey Sidibe, Golden Globes 2010 ))
Go to the bathroom, shut the door and take off you clothes. Wash off your makeup and pull your hair up. Look in the mirror. Don't judge yourself, just look. Trace your hairline, examine the curve of your eyebrows. Stare into your own eyes and take in the shape and the colour. Learn the contours of your cheekbones, the slope of your nose. Note the curves of your lips, the colour. Now smile - really, geniunely smile. Notice how your face changes. Does your nose scrunch? Do your eyes light up? Go further - your shoulders, arms, hands. Examine them, pick them apart. Notice the small details - the freckles, the shapes, the colours. Are your arms thin, thick, muscular? Are they tanned, pale, freckled? Are they scarred? If they are, don't hate them. These scars are a part of you now. Are your hands wide, narrow, short, long? Are your fingers long, stubby, slender? Are your nails long, short, bitten, painted? Go back to your torso. Examine your breasts thoroughly Take note of how they feel and look. Raise your arms and feel and look again. Remember this. Notice if something changes. Look at your ribs, your waist, your stomach. Don't worry about the size or the firmness/lack thereof. Study the curve of your hips, the shape of your butt. Follow the length of your legs. Your thighs, thick or thin? Gapped or not? Are there scars here too? Accept them. Down further, your calves and ankles. Are they shaved, hairy? Muscular, thin, thick? Your feet, little, big, wide, narrow? Come back up, and notice all the little marks across your skin. Freckles, scars, tattoos, skin discolourations, pimples. What ones are intentional? What ones do you regret? What ones do you wish were gone? Accept them all - they are part of you now. Look for the familiar features. Do you have your mother's nose, father's chin? Do you share the same smile as your brother? Can you see your grandmother in your eyes? Do you have freckle in the same place as your best friend? Step back and look at it all together. All of these little things make up you. You do not need to change a thing, though if you want to, it's more than okay. These body parts belong to you, and no-one else. There is nothing wrong with any of them, no matter what anyone says; not your friends, parents, peers or the media. Your body is not wrong. You are not wrong. You are you, and that will always be enough.
We flirt with death every time we etch a new tally mark into our skin. I know how to split my wrists like a battlefield too, but the time has come for us to reclaim our bodies; our bodies deserve more than to be war-torn and collateral.
