Dear internet,

I am not skinny. I do not look like those models on the cover of those international magazines who eat nothing because they’re pressured to be thin. I do not have the most toned legs and I have thighs because I eat. I don’t have the height to join the next season of America’s Next Top Model. I am 5 feet and 3 centimeters short. I don’t always look my best because there are days when I’m too lazy to do so and there are days when I say ‘F*** the world, I don’t want to put on make-up, I want to tie my hair in a bun, I don’t want to dress-up.’ I am not white, I have morena skin and that’s because I am Filipino and I love my skin color. A lot of people would want my skin color, why the hell do people out of this country have artificial tanning booths?

Bottomline, what I’m trying to say is, I may not be perfect but from my imperfections, I see my beauty. And you can keep telling me your opinions about me and you can keep trying to tell me I’m ugly, I’m fat and I should stop posting photos of myself but I don’t care because I believe that I am beautiful no matter what you say, because God made me that way. And as a famous person once said in her television show, ‘KISS MY BIG FAT ASS.’

I thank you.
