Oh, look, Tumblr! It’s another picture of a female-bodied person, in nothing but (mismatched) underwear! But you know the difference between this photograph, and the other thousands that are swimming around this site? This one won’t be reblogged everywhere with “HNGH”, and “I would”, and other comments like that. Why? Because, Tumblr dear, I am fat. Chubby. Large. Plus-sized.
My thighs touch, my hips are huge, my tummy wobbles (when I laugh, when I don’t, when I walk, when I dance, pretty much all the time), and I can’t fit into most of the ‘latest fashions’. But, here’s the thing, Tumblr. My cup of care is empty. In fact, it’s not only empty, it is leaking.
I am more than my body, as big as it is. What you see is just a vessel for all my thoughts, my memories, my poetry, my soul, everything that makes me me.
