Dear Amelia,
I couldn't write in you for a while because of what happened a few days ago but I feel better now, I just needed some time to regroup and focus on things that are more important. You know I didn't just start feeling sad all of a sudden the other time, a few events led to my emotional breakdown and sadly my best friends were at the centre of that event 🙁. So it was in the morning of the day that I broke down that my friends, Eliza and Tee came over to my house, I had just woken up and I hadn't had my bath so I hurried to the bathroom while Eliza was in my room and Tee was in the sitting room because he wanted to give me some privacy. I came out of the bathroom when I finished bathing and started dressing, I initially tried to hide the hideous marks on my thigh but I didn't want to make it seem like I was hiding myself from my best friend so I decided to dress in front of her with the hope that she wouldn't mind the stretch marks which was very stupid of me now that I think about it because no one would see such a disgusting sight and not make a remark about it. Like any one else that has seen my marks, Eliza screamed my name horribly at the sight of it and started laughing, I couldn't even say anything because I knew she wasn't to be blamed for laughing. When Tee came in after I finished dressing, she started telling Tee about my ugly stretch marks and how they made my thighs look like an elephant's trunk. Tee didn't say anything but I know he found it funny too and I couldn't blame them because they're flawless creatures unlike me.
Tee and Eliza finally left after some time and I was left with my thoughts, I got in my own head and my self-esteem just came crashing down. It was a really horrible feeling and I hope I never experience it again because I am okay now.





Temi says she's okay but is she really okay??
We need to know that the negative things we do can affect other people therefore we should never engage in body shaming, slut shaming or any behavior that can lower/destroy a person's self esteem. We should always try to be nice to people.
