I am not nor will I ever be a size 6. I will never be able to wear Victoria Secret bras- because I’m too much of a woman for them to handle. I am: creative passionate pretty cute girly vulgar Sexual Strong I am the remnants of glitter left over from the Monster Ball when you cried for her and started loving yourself. I am the hatred you felt when you looked and saw what you’d become. I am the art that flows through your veins and the energy that spurs you on. I am that moment of courage when you tell him you don’t need his shit and can find better. I am the tears and the love. I am the pride when you win and the sorrow when you lose. I am that moment of realization that tells you that you don’t need a man to be happy- you just need yourself…
