I've got nothing to hide— a thread

I'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'd rather starve myself than eat when peers would throw their shares of insults.

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

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

Yes, I have extra fats, couldn't wear bikini at all like all the other girls, I'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's experiencing the same, raise your arms high, you shouldn'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.
