All my life I've been thicker. As I got older, the weight seemed to flatter my body, but it still was unflattering to me. Not only that, but I've always had to wear weave, because my hair was never long enough for me. Got braces, but people told me I had some of the straightest teeth they've ever seen. Put on make-up lighter than my skin tone, because I feel like I'm too dark.

All my life I've been trying to look like the pretty light-skin girls on tumblr, but have failed miserably.

Why is it that I'm always trying to please society, but society never tried to please me?

Is it society I'm fighting or am I fighting myself?
