"Love yourself, girl, or nobody will
Oh, you a woman? I don't know how you deal
With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels
I feel for you
Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
You wake up, put makeup on
Stare in the mirror but its clear that you can't face what's wrong
No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on"- J. Cole
Why is it that people judge others because of how they look? Lets be realistic we've all done it at least one time. Who are we to assume that "you're fat because you're lazy" ? Who are we to assume that "all models are skinny because they starve themselves" ? Who are we to assume that "he sells dope because he always has the dopest clothes and shoes" ? Everyone has at least one insecurity, and they shouldn't be judged because of them. It's okay to have imperfections. If God didn't want you to have those "flaws", you wouldn't have them.
Now I'm not going to sit here and act like I have never been insecure, or have any insecurities. Because I have been insecure during one point in my life, and I do have insecurities. When I was younger, I used to want to be lighter because, boys used to always talk about lighter girls and it used to make me feel like "maybe if I was lighter guys would like me". I also used to want to be skinny. But now that I'm older and a tad bit wiser, I have realized that I'm beautiful just the way I am and I should never want to change myself to please someone else. I do plan on losing weight, but I'm not doing that for anyone else. I'm doing that for me! Because I'm not living to satisfy people with my looks. That is not my calling. But I love myself, because I don't expect anyone to be able love me if I can't love myself.
