I Think it Backfired

Dear Nicole Arbour

You have most likely have seen the name Nicole Arbour floating around the internet a lot in the last few weeks. And I'm going to make an assumption that no matter what your body type or size is that you most likely don't really like her. It seems that in this day and age that people have began to take offense to everything but now we see a new generation of people who are purposefully being offensive in order to gain fame. Below I have the video that has caused so much controversy recently and I do caution you that it can be upsetting and a little distasteful to say the least. Warning, Nicole Arbour is a comedian by trade but she's not funny also there is language.

So while everyone is entitled to their own opinion, here is what I have to say about this.

Dear Nicole,

I am a woman and I thoroughly enjoy comedy. Who doesn't love to laugh, right? However, I don't personally think that you are funny.

I think that people like you are the reason that there is a lot of hate in this world. Now I know that sounds harsh, no I'm not blaming you for the hate but hate spreads like a virus. I have absolutely no problem with you having an opinion, because I too have one and here it is. I think that you are mean and I believe that you are insecure. I think that you wear tight clothes, a push up bra, and a pink stripe in your hair for attention and to fit a socially acceptable definition of beauty. I do not think that you are beautiful though because I was taught that beauty come from within and you have a very ugly soul.

I'm not saying that to hurt you or make you feel bad but that's what I've seen from you. I'm not exactly the thinnest person, I don't love to exercise, and I'm not obese. I wanted to inform you a little on why some people become "fat". Well first I want to say that fat is a horrible word and it shouldn't be used to describe a person. The fact that "fat" is the only phrase you could come up with shows a lack of intelligence and respect that you have. Anyway, sometimes people over eat and don't work out and that's why. But sometimes people really do have serious medical conditions and reactions to medication that makes them gain weight.

Just because you were naturally blessed to have a fast metabolism and a healthy thyroid does not make you a gift from God. It makes you lucky, and apparently you are just too hateful and ungrateful to recognize that. I'll be completely honest with you. I'm not the fastest funner and I've been outrun by people who were bigger than me. I feel no need to discriminate or stereotype them based on their build.

I think it's ironic how you make a point in the beginning of your video that "fat shaming" is not a thing and then almost a minute later you turn around and say how brilliant you think "fat shaming" is. "Shame people who have bad habits until the f*cking stop." So does that mean that I should shame you for acting like a dumb blonde on purpose just to squeeze you into a stereotype, and hope that you stop being ignorant? Maybe, but I won't because I'm a decent human being. You talk about how people who are obese are killing themselves medically but did you ever stop to think that maybe your hurtful words could kill them too? In the worst way I mean suicide and in the least hurtful way you're killing what confidence they have. I'm not sure if you're aware but 75 percent of handicap parking passes that are given out are for people in wheelchairs with serious diseases or military veterans who have been injured in war. So while they are losing limbs to save your freedom please complain about how you don't want to carry all of your shopping bags to a spot that is further away from the store.

I'm still trying to fathom how you are preaching that we only have one body and that we should take care of it while you sit there with a face full of makeup, fake nails and eyelashes, a questionable boob job, and hair so damaged by coloring that it could probably fall out any minute. Did you ever consider that the #bodypositive was made as a way for people to gain confidence in their body and love the skin they're in? There are people in this world that will NEVER be a size zero. I could work out every day of my life and eat well and I would NEVER be that small. That's not my body and so many other bodies are structured. I'm not defined by the number that sits on a tag in the back of my pants. I love my body and I'm positive about it for me and because the people I surround myself with love and support me no matter what size that I am. Don't even get me started about plus sizes, because it's bad enough that society made it okay to discriminate people in stores to that extent that they don't need you to say those hurtful things too. Why is it that you can complain about not being able to get Starbucks before your flight but a disabled passenger isn't allowed to complain about knee issues? I'm not sure but maybe they gained weight due to a knee injury that prevents them from exercising, just a thought.

Nicole, while you're on this rant about "fat" people, why is it okay for you to show favoritism toward one race over another? There are so many times in this video that you sit there are say that you're not an a**hole but it seems like you're trying to convince yourself or make yourself feel better. At the end of a six minute long video you try to save a little face by saying that you would love someone no matter what size they were, but if that's the case why did you just spend six minutes trash talking people you don't even know?

I don't personally know you, and for all I know you could be a great person but I think that your attempt at a 15 minutes of fame may have back fired a little bit. I suppose that not everyone is raised the same but I was taught that it is better to be loved by a few than to be hated by the masses. I can kind of see how you were hope that people would join together and thing you were funny but I think people have joined together is a less appealing way.

I know that you will probably never read this post and that it will never effect you but if you do see this I hope you understand where I'm coming from. I hope that at some point of your life that you will be able to find peace in the fact that everyone on this earth is different and that is what makes us all beautiful. Nicole, It's important that you start understanding that it's what's in the inside that truly defines a person.

Best Wishes on your "Career,"

Most of Society

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.
