I had a thought last night about making a mini comic strip about smth I've been dealing with pretty much my whole life...so here it is:

A/N: This isn't intended to shame anyone who may be overweight or self-conscious about their weight. I do not tolerate such behavior. My intention is just to express smth I've been insecure about through art.
I always question whether or not I'm "normal" because of how my body functions or if this is a blessing or a curse. In my family, I've been told to "eat more" due to how skinny I look. Most of my family, particularly my siblings, tease me for it and basically call me a stick. So I guess this is stick-shaming haha. Even though I feel rather good about not having to be heavily conscious about my weight, I still feel anxious about people judging me for looking 'malnourished' or smth like that. And because of that, sometimes I feel like this is unfair, knowing that others have to be very proactive (just to get to that ideal weight) while I can't even change anything about mine. Despite that, however, I still work out tho! I wanna feel fit and get my mood, energy, and blood circulation up and going. Plus, dancing's fun! :>
But on a serious note, for anyone who cannot control how their body works and struggles because of it, don't be upset or anxious about it. They're what make you, you, so accept that part of you! In my case, it's in my genetics - I can't really control my body's metabolism. But since that's what makes me, me, I just have to embrace it, y'know? And for those who can relate, embrace yourselves, too. Embrace the unique individuals you are and don't let other people's words get to you. They don't know you as much as you know yourselves.
Remember to take care of yourselves and always stay safe an healthy! <3
