Some Thoughts I Thought on Thigh Gaps and Whatnot

    I have been to a lot of funerals for some truly beloved humans. And you know what? Not once have I ever heard anyone say any of the following:

“You know what I’m gonna miss about my mama? Dat ass.”

“I’ll never forget how few stretch marks she had…”

No one went to Maya Angelou’s funeral and lamented how worthy of love she would have been if only she had a thigh gap. Because our real value is in our whole. All our parts and pieces together. I hope we all remember that as we enter this new year with our shiny new fitty goals. This can be the year we are all better, stronger, fitter, healthier, lovelier whole hearted humans. But whole beings deserve whole love. Don’t forget that part while focusing on the outside parts of you.
Sincerely,
A girl who loves all of your parts and pieces.
Happy 2016, Y’all!
