We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

I hate when I see people saying that we should go back to the time when curvier was considered to be more beautiful than being thin.
Not because I don't think that curvier, heavier women aren't beautiful. It's because people assume that there wasn't as much body shaming then. Society was the exact same way it is now, just in reverse. Do you know what they did to women who were thin back then? They'd shame them. There were ads saying that no man wanted a thin women and ads that said that advertised methods that would help a woman gain weight. Women who were thin were taught to be ashamed of their bodies.
Instead of going back to a time where curvier was more beautiful, why not become a time where every body is beautiful?

You hate the way your hair falls, so you hide it in a bun. You turn up to school each day,
look around and feel outdone. You check your thighs constantly to see if you've gained
weight. You can't get to sleep at night because you're too busy fighting fate. You hate
your heart for beating and letting it cause you pain. You're so over being hurt, you
don't ever want to love again. You have to wear makeup to feel more secure. And
when you're asked how you feel you're never really sure. You hate to let people
in, you fear you'll let them down. You wear a pretty smile so people won't
know your frown. And when you look in the mirror all you see
is a broken mess. But, darling, when I look at you,
What I see is flawless
