Body image is so, so complicated. There is an ideal for guys and an ideal for girls. Guys should be tall and muscular. Girls should be thick but with flat stomachs and tone bodies. I feel like if we don’t have some of these aspects we spend all our time obsessing over how to make up for them. I dislike my body. I don’t like how my butt or my hips look. I don’t like the lil bit of stomach fat I have. I don’t like how skinny my arms are. I don’t like how small my chest is. I could go on forever. If I tell my friends this they'll usually say "No Jay your body is so nice" and somehow that literally makes no difference to me. But everyone is desired by someone. Everyone is desirable in even small ways. I think it’s so hard to focus on small things because the other things are so much bigger. But like man, there’s this part in a movie I watched, Eat, Pray, Love, where this woman was in Italy with her friend and they were about to have pizza and her friend goes “no no I won’t have any, I've gone up a size in jeans”. And the woman kind of looks at her and goes “when you go to bed with a man, and you take your clothes off, has he ever asked you to leave?” and the friend's like “well no” and the woman says “we are in Italy. In this most famous pizza place ever. You are going to eat this pizza. And then we are going to go jean shopping for bigger pants.” And the friend picks up the pizza and eats it, whatever whatever. But that’s one of my favorite scenes because I dunno if you think about it you might never fully love how you look. Too skinny, too fat, too tall, or too short. But jesus christ don’t let it stop you from doing the things you want. It’s such a waste of time. Wear the crop top or the tight shirt if you like it. Eat the pizza or the dark chocolate caramel squares you stash in your room. Do what makes u happy. Someone wants you, some person will always want you. You are not measured in your fat cell count or how skinny your bird arms are. Just accept that you are what you are.
