I& #39;ve got nothing to hide— a thread

I& #39;ve been dealing with my body image for as far as I can remember. This has taken a huge toll on my self-esteem; sometimes, as a teenager, I& #39;d rather starve myself than eat when peers would throw their shares of insults.

+++

I& #39;ve missed several family and social gatherings last year and the years that followed back because I& #39;m anxious of what relatives would say. Little did everyone know that for every painful words, there& #39;s something inside of me that slowly wanted to die.

+++

Now, i& #39;ve grown up, in my 20s, and still going through the same. However, lately, i& #39;ve realized that I have got nothing to hide. ++

Yes, I have extra fats, couldn& #39;t wear bikini at all like all the other girls, I& #39;ve got stretch marks and cellulites on my buttocks and hips, but hell— I should be able to rock them like how other girls can. +++

For everyone out there who& #39;s experiencing the same, raise your arms high, you shouldn& #39;t feel insecure! Nobody should! We are all perfect and all women are equally beautiful! Be proud of your skin, be proud of who you are.
