Ugly World: The Beauty Standard

Thin

TW!

"You should be happy you're skinny."

I guess I should.

Everyone is starving and dying for my body.

And I'm here feeling insecure.

I guess I'm not allowed to feel insecure with my "perfect body."

But I feel like crap.

Every day, I wake up feeling scared that I might die.

Why is it so hard to eat?

I feel weak.

If I gain weight, people are going to criticize me for being "fat."

What does the word fat even mean?

Why is it an insult?

What does the word skinny even mean?

Why is it also an insult?

"Go eat a hamburger," they say.

But then they say, "Be careful not to eat too much, or else you'll be fat."

But I'm starting.

I AM HUNGRY!

Let me eat.

please.

Is someone's image so important that you have to comment on it?

It doesn't make sense.

If I'm too skinny, then I'm ugly.

If I'm fat, then I'm ugly.

If I'm in the middle, I'll still be ugly.

This world is ugly.

Why do I have to fit the beauty standard?
