Growing up my mom always thought I was to fat even when I wasn't. I was always a chubby kid. No bigger than a size large in clothes but, she still felt that I was huge and when I bought clothes with what money I saved up if she felt I was too fat for it she would throw them away. As I was growing up and my sizes would up and down my aunt would take my clothes and wear them because she liked tight clothes. She was what a ratchet is today but back in the days there wasn't a name for it, no there was a name for it. it was called triflin. So with my mom thinking I was too fat for clothes and my aunt taking my clothes I became a tom boy. I would by big boy clothes to hide myself because I started to believe I was fat and ugly. So I went through life as a tom boy up until whats going on 5 year when I found Lolita.
When I found Lolita and started dressing like a girl that's when my walls I used to hide behind started coming down. The rare feeling of being a girl and looking pretty was all new. Dressing up and wearing makeup was new but, I got the hang out of fast. Until I met some of the nastiest girls in the world.
For years I have learned to let people talk about me. Hell my mom always picked at me about my weight. No matter how much I lose it wasn't enough. So talk about me all you want I didn't care. When it came down to other girls in the Lolita community that were too scared to stand up for themselves I did it. I stayed mad for years in Lolita because of the ugliness I saw in Lolita that I had at home I wanted and had a need to fight. Feeling ugly is an under statement. Living with the fact that because of your weight your own mother wont even look at you well self hate don't even come close to what I feel.
I'm on a long road to self love and its very dark and very scary for me but, I must walk it alone. I beg everyone not to feel sorry or sad or upset for something you can not control. If you have nothing in life to feel good about its just that. you have life and a wonderful one. Not all days will be sunny and flowers and birds will sing but, you have a life and that's worth being happy for. So once a day I will look in the mirror and say "I love you the way you are" and I will believe it even if its only for a minute. I will believe it and move on to help me down this road one step at a time.
