Am I beautiful?

[kimthekimthekim]

I was chubby from as long as I could remember.
I looked cute when I was young with round cheeks, as I grew older into high school. Things started to change.

Adults would tell me that I need to lose some weight and how great I would look if I do.
At the time, I didn't get why it was considered beautiful to have a slim figurer was and I still don't. However, since everybody around me considered slim as beauty, I accepted it.

Nowadays, that mindset is set like concrete. Never to be removed. I tried various exercises and medication to drop weight and when I loss few pounds people would cheer me to lose more. As I learned from adults and wise peers that being slim isn't what defines beauty. Beauty is nothing but the way that you express yourself. That was beauty for them. However, even people remind me that being slim isn't the right definition of beauty. I never took a step further than that young girl trying to lose weight, because I still do. I will never be able to run free from those people who enjoys calling people fat and criticizing them for who they are. I am still scared to be ashamed. I just hope for myself to get a bit braver everyday so I can slam those people who criticized me for being fat and ugly to the wall and walk away.

Please let me love my self

Woff, woff!

Hello @kimthekimthekim, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

• If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
  Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
• So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
• If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
• If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
• If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶
