How things like cast, creed, colour, body size and skin were the things people were distinguished upon. But today, that’s not how we roll. Also, today we as human species are more aware that you can not do discrimination on the basis of gender too; let alone body shape and skin color.
And if anyone tells someone to do things according to societal norms, one should know how to shut that meethi verbal chapair and walk your way! No one can tell you what you should do.
This girl is the perfect example of how she did change the complete course of her life and showed in the #TenYearChallange. She lost weight and changed the way she looked but ONLY for HERSELF.
She did it because she wanted it!
“For the past few weeks I’ve been looking at everyone’s #TenYearChallenge photos. Better lighting, better #MakeUp techniques and of course, better phones/cameras is making everyone look like they’re maturing like old wine.
I, too, took a hit at my #Facebook. Scrolled all the way to 2008….. which basically made me go through my entire existential history on this social media platform. I laughed, I associated photos with songs, friends who grew apart, good days, good friends, different countries, different cities, different decades but one thing that remained common was the way I looked and how society made me feel and how I always, ALWAYS stood up for myself and put up a brave front.
Trust me when I say I’ve had my fair share of “Don’t you feel like looking nice like your friends?” Or “ Who will marry you” and “ You’ll have to loose some weight to find employment” (that one really used to hit the spot) but I stood strong. I never, EVER let such remarks or people make me feel bad. I did have bad days when I felt shitty but never, ever did I let anyone see that, in fact, my brain literally started screening such bullshit.
Anyway, the only reason for writing such a long story is not to get a few celebratory pats on the back, I surely know what I’ve achieved or how I’ve achieved it and trust me it was not for those half asses who have always commented on my life and #Weightbut purely and totally just for #ME. I learned to #LoveMyself so much more because people were Hatin’ on #MyBody. Also, to the people who very casually say to me….. “Oh my God, you’ve lost so much weight, you’ve become so pretty”… SCREW YOU… I was #PrettyThen and I am #PrettyNow!”
People who told her she looked pretty after she lost weight, well she was pretty before and she’s pretty after
It’s high time that people need to mind their own business and stop schooling others on what they should do to get a better life but in reality, these are the people who need to “get a job”! Anyways, Sameen has our heart and tons of love, kudos larki! 😉
