"Beauty is not contingent on his opinion, 'too big' and 'not ideal' are trademarks of a coward. Your body isn’t his ideal type of body,
but pathetic has never been your ideal type of personality." Your anon's message reminded me of a poem, and had to share some of those bits from it. I don't know if it's helpful at all but I felt the need to share.

No, this is amazing! I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before and I thank you for bringing it back to my attention. It’s so true. The “Your body isn’t his ideal type of body, but pathetic has never been your ideal type of personality” that’s my favorite part. Not liking someone, or being afraid to like someone because of their body is cowardly. It’s weak and this poem is fantastic. Thanks again for sharing! :)

I just realized that this is from a poem called “Too Big” by Beck Cooper and that if you’re feeling down, I recommend watching it on youtube. It’s so powerful.
