Diary ng Mataba [COMPLETED]

DIARY #8

Dear Diary ,

For the first few weeks, they lay collecting dust in my drawer. I didn't step out of my comfort zone immediately; I just kind of teetered on the edge of it, contemplating. But when I finally put those leggings on and went outside, a sense of liberation flooded me. I had always been so afraid people would stare. They would point and laugh at the fat girl in the tight leggings.

They didn't. To me, I was the disgusting fatass. To them, I was just another person on the street.

After realizing that my biggest critic was myself, I decided I was done letting that part of my mind boss me around. I want people to know that I am here, I am unique, and that I am entitled to my own space. I don't hide my body anymore. Now, my dressers are filled with tees that fit me snugly, with jeans my size, and with lots of
leggings.
