Self-love(a motivating speach that isnt really that good.)

Hello, how's your day going? Good? Bad? Tell me, I'll try to help.

Why is it that they don't teach this in school?
Why was I thought the quadratic equation instead of how to love myself?
Why do they leave out something that so many people die without, because they cant love themselves.
It took me 3 years to learn to love myself.
Slam poems, speeches, and seeing girls who have cut so much there's more scar then skin.
Ive seen girls who don't just have skeletons in their closets, but have become a skeleton in their closet, but hey at least they're pretty, right? No, they're unhealthy. And they still don't feel pretty.
I Have spent my fair share of mornings stuffing my braw in 5th grade with tears in my eyes, while putting on the tightest of tank tops under my shirt to tuck my stomach away.
But then something changed. I found people who had stopped lying to me. They didn't say "No, I'm not fat." and they didn't say "No, your not fat." Instead they said "I am fat and I am beautiful." And i found something so amazing.
My thighs inflate like balloons when I sit down. They compliment my hips.
My arms are fat and dangle when i put them up. They make me look strong.
I have stretch marks that show when I wear swim suits. They're quite adorable, and everyone has them.
I have a fat tummy that rolls up when I sit down. It makes a great pillow for my baby brother to to cuddle with me.
I have back rolls that will never leave. They're squishy and nice.
I have a double chin when I laugh or lay on the couch. It's quite charming.
My nose is too big for my face and my lips are too small and I have a baby face. It's adorable and cute.
I used to see them all as negative.
The only thing making these negative about me is society's views on the human body and having the idea that it should look the same for everyone. And then I learned to think I of myself positively.
Just know that there's someone out there who loves your thighs, tummy, arms, back fat, and double chin all the same. Because they love you not your body, it's just that your body is the only piece of you they can actually touch.
No it's not easy to see yourself this way. It took me years to learn and it was because of my family, the people around me, and some amazing things on the internet.

Have a great day, love you guys. Bye.
~love, Elena
