Curves

My lack of curves does not mean I lack presence.

Real women have curves. Men want steak, not bones.

My lack of curves does not mean I have a lack of presence. My spindly figure has me looking over the heads of people who tell me to eat more, to gain weight, that men don't like women

Like me.

When did my body become a ground for competition over attention of others? It would be a pretty easy playing ground, as most things on it are flat, in places both accepted and not. It's a straight shot from my chin to my toes, the only curves I find are in my teeth, spine, and nose.

My eyes are brown, like most everyone else's on the planet, most girls have larger breasts and they're all the same and liked. Evidently, fitting in (anything above a 36 b) is only accepted if it's pleasurable to the eye, and not the eye color.

I have strong hands. I can hold on forever if given the opportunity. I can mend and mold things to fix them. My thighs are not soft fruit, but they are strong enough to hold myself up. It's not enough for anyone else, but it's enough for me.

Larger assets run in my family, but all I inherited is the ability to run. I can reach things on the highest shelf, I can hide between the fridge and the cupboards, light bulbs have never been an issue for me.

My lack of curves is not a lack of femininity, I find curves in the crook of my elbows, the bends of my knees, my eyelashes and toes.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
