bodyimage healing selfacceptance selfdiscovery selflove

In this raw and unflinching memoir, I share my deeply personal struggle to find acceptance and belonging in a society that often seeks to marginalize and shame those who don't fit the mold. With unapologetic honesty, I recount my experiences growing up fat in a thin-obsessed world, navigating the complexities of body image, self-worth, and identity.

From the painful sting of bullying and fat-shaming to the liberating power of self-love and acceptance, I take readers on a journey of resilience, self-discovery, and ultimately, triumph. With humor, vulnerability, and fierce determination, I challenge societal norms and confront the harsh realities of living in a body that doesn't conform.

This memoir is my story of finding my voice, claiming my space, and learning to love myself in a world that doesn't always love me back. I share my struggles, my fears, and my moments of triumph, in the hopes that my story will inspire others to do the same.All Rights Reserved

The Diary Of A Lonely Girl By Esmeray Love by Esmeraylove1

As the title suggests, I'm lonely. 110% of people in this world are. But that's not the point. I'm a mix a lot of things, a lot of emotions, but I've always denied that one emotion. That scared me to death. But here I am doing something I promised I'll never do. Today I accept that I'm lonely. When I'm alone studying or doing exercises or having fun with my friends, I'm lonely. It is a burning sensation that comes up the throat and blocks the air out of me, all the time. This book is a remedy to all those who feel the same. This is about survival. That is if I survive.

How did it End? by JuhiShahani

In a world where women are often expected to seamlessly juggle the roles of a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a successful woman who has built herself a career, the journey to self-discovery and healing can be anything but straightforward. "How Did It End?" explores the lives of women who are striving to break free from societal expectations, unlearn ingrained beliefs, and heal from past traumas that have long shaped their identities. This is a story about the quiet battles fought in the hearts of women everywhere-the struggle to reconcile personal desires with external pressures, the courage to face deep-seated fears, and the strength it takes to carve out a life that is truly one's own. As these women navigate love, friendship, and the complexities of their inner worlds, they learn that the path to wholeness is as much about letting go as it is about holding on. With poignant reflections, emotional depth, and moments of unexpected humor, "How Did It End?" is a narrative that delves into the core of womanhood, exploring the delicate balance between self-fulfillment and the roles society often demands. It's a tale of resilience, the power of choice, and the unyielding pursuit of authenticity in a world that often asks too much.

EPIPHANY by meditatingineden

"I'm desperately trying to heal myself." •. •. •. •. •. I strongly believe art isn't supposed to be pretty, or liked and understood by the masses. Art is supposed to make you uncomfortable, it's supposed to boggle your mind and touch your heart. And this is what I've done. Most of my words aren't pretty. They are the real ugly truths about the things and people around me. The factors that make me who I am. This is a bringing together of the most intimate tragedies and beauties I've discovered in my mind.

Far From Perfect by AngelicaGabriela1991

Far From Perfect. That's what I am. It's what I've always been. How do I even begin to see myself as anything different when all I've ever been is the fat girl? I just want to be loved and accepted. It's all I've ever wanted. And all I've ever needed. I didn't think it was possible to have either of those until I met Nate Carter. Nate swooped into my life like a wrecking ball, rattling the very walls I built around myself to keep anyone from ever getting in. And without me realizing it, he knocked them all down one by one and did what no one was ever able to do. He taught me to see me. The real me. But will that be enough to keep what is growing between us alive? × Highest Rankings × #1 in Bodypositive #1 in Selfacceptance #2 in Bodyimage #2 Bodyimageissues #2 Self-esteem #6 Firstkiss #13 Outcast

NAVEL GAZING: excessive absorption in self-analysis or focus on a single issue by ANMS111

-A Lie I decided to focus on family, choosing to believe and have faith that everything else would fall into place. I wasn't comfortable-or good-at lying to her. So, when Samantha surprised me one day by swallowing her pride and asking directly if anything had happened during our break, I hesitated. The silence, I believed, said it all. I was on the verge of confessing when she gave me an out: "If you tell me nothing happened, I'll believe you," she said. I should have told her the truth then-or resolved never to reveal it. Instead, years later, as I left for the final time, I selfishly brought it up. By confessing, I hoped to push her away. But in that moment, I let her believe what she clearly wanted to hold on to-that I had been faithful. She knew Pippa and probably sensed there was something between us, but she let it go-and so did I. It was cowardice, I know. Still, I made up my mind to make our dream a reality. And for a while, it worked. But fast-forward through the births of our three additional sons, and more than a dozen years, the same problems that once threatened us had only grown and would soon spiral out of control.
