BLACKOUT
beautiful
Here’s what you’re not gonna do: You’re not gonna tell me I can’t be a total #AfricanGlamQueen while shopping at Whole Foods. I got stared at the entire time. Lmao thought I’d show yall what I wore.
Sorry I’m crying. As someone in my position; Bisexual, disabled (hearing impaired), not confident in my appearance, and struggling. I tend to avoid posting pictures for a movement. Even if it is one meant to motivate, inspire, and more.
However after seeing some pictures of other African-Americans in similar positions as myself…after some thought I built up the courage. Thanks you all so much for #blackout
this picture is probably mundane to most of you, or maybe even ugly, but there’s something about it that I really like. It’s rare that I look at a picture of myself and legitimately feel beautiful. Usually I’m going through the motions and ‘faking it til I make it’ like a lot of others seem to be. But there used to be a time where seeing my own profile would made me cry. I felt so ugly that I often had a hard time leaving my own room, let alone my house at all. I equated being fat with being ugly, and I had a hard time accepting my body. I’ve always been fat, but I ended up on a medication to treat my mental illness that caused extreme weight gain so I went from ‘kinda fat’ to ‘actually fat’ very quickly. I felt like I took up too much space, and was too big to be allowed anywhere. It has been a long journey, but I think I am finally starting to see what I ‘should’ be seeing when I look in the mirror: a beautiful, fat person who is trying their best and who is allowed to exist in this body because they are alive.

Can I be this beautiful please
fun idea: stop trying to police the language bisexuals, pansexuals, and asexuals use to refer to themselves, especially when it comes to us using words like “queer” or “gay”. we can tell that this is your passive-aggressive way of trying to push us out the community. y’all aint fooling anybody
