Today, I embrace body neutrality. No more body negativity. But also no more pressure to be body positive all the goddamn time. Instead, just being, and appreciating all that it does, without labelling it to soothe another’s comfort.

I do not need to be beautiful to enjoy my life. I do not need to conform to beauty to enjoy my life. Most importantly, I do not need to be crushed by your need to redefine beauty as me in order to enjoy my life. To you, defining that beauty may be important. To me, it is not. To me, I’m done with how fine that line has been with fetishization.
