This a slightly different post for me but I feel that it needs to be addressed. I am a curvier girl and throughout my entire life I have had self-esteem issues because of that. I am finally at a point in my life where I am less concerned about how I look because I like how I look but I still have really bad days because of how I look. This summer whilst watching hours of YouTube late at night I found an amazing beauty vlogger known as Loey Lane. She is a curvier girl but is so gorgeous and confident. She uses her platform and following as a way to help curvier girls be confident and know what to wear to flatter your look and also gives amazing makeup tutorials.
This week she has posted a couple of videos which I will link at the end of this post. One was on dating when your curvier and how to be confident with yourself. Another was a response to a video that has gone viral this week. I have refused to watch it because I do not feel that the person who posted it deserves any amount of attention or credit for it. From what I know of the video through Loey and social media she was blatantly rude about "fat people" and hiding under the guise that it was concern for their health. My personal opinion is that people need to keep thei mouths shut about other peoples' weight. You don't have to find thicker people attractive, you can find them disgusting, but you do not need to voice those views in such a derogatory way. If you are not a medical professional than you have no right to critique someone else's weight.
Loey has worked so hard to build up the confidence of her subscribers and personally she has helped me greatly. As I enter my senior year of high school, I am proud to walk into school wearing things that I never would have touched a year ago and hold my head high. I find myself beautiful more than I am disgusted by myself now. That is saying so much for me and a lot of that credit is due to Loey.
Everyone deserves to be body positive and to love how they look. If you don't love how you look than there are ways to change that or if you want to love how you look than there are also ways to build your confidence. If you are super thin or super thick, everyone should love their bodies because our bodies are miracles. We are so tough on our bodies but they withstand almost anything. For women we can carry growing children and birth babies. Our bodies are amazing and everyone should be body positive.
Thank you so much Loey Lane for helping me realize that I am beautiful too.
