Progress
We are taught to shrink ourselves so we can be smaller. We are taught that not eating
is the new trend. We are taught that the skinnier, the better. Taught to starve
instead of eat, but who are they to tell us what or how to eat? But
who would listen to these cruel words of society? But who is
society to tell us to choose an extra small over a large? We
strive to be a certain size. We strive to fit into skinny
jeans. We strive to be the most beautiful. But what
even is the right size? But what do skinny jeans
mean? But what does pretty entitle you? We
believe that heavy is ugly. We believe that
being whalelike is unattractive. We
believe that if you are obese, you
will not go far in life...because
of how you look. But why
do look define you as
a person? But why
do people judge us
based on what is
portrayed on
the outside?
But why
does your
body type
determine
how you
live your
life
?
