Day 20 The meaning behind your blog name
Play Me
If you want, you can click the link above and listen to this beauty of a song while you read my explanation. (I strongly suggest that you do.)
Big Girl You Are Beautiful. I'm a big girl. With curves. With pretty eyes. And pair of pretty awesome....legs. ;) I own it. I never claim to want to be a size 2 because that's not who I am. I am Lisha. I am beautiful. And people aren't perfect, this I know. And we never will be. And honestly, I made this my blog name because I love the song. I love the message it gives. But I really love that it doesn't say "Big Girl You Are Beautiful On The Inside". Because as a larger member of society I'm so SICK AND TIRED of people saying "It's what's on the inside that counts". Yeah, sure it counts. But that's not what people SEE. I think everyone on this planet has the right and divine potential to feel pretty. To feel wanted. To feel sexy. To feel lovely. To....feel. And that's what I want. I want people to know that. I want people to feel. Feel something for themselves that they never thought was possible.
So, that's all.
xoxox, Lisha

Lisha, I totally respect that you value the beautiful parts of people...but one thing I don't understand- do you feel that being big is beautiful, or that there is beauty in spite of being big? I'm not trying to be offensive, I really am curious. I totally think that there are attractive parts of people, even when they are big, and I do like a little chunk on my man- but I don't think that being obese is attractive, even if they do have attractive features. For example, I love myself and love parts of myself- I have awesome eyes and hair, and a pretty great rack, (haha) but I know that I would be more attractive if I was thinner. How do you feel?
Sheraya! You are my favorite :) I definitely feel like people need to love themselves in spite of...everything. I'm not saying bigger is better, or that being skinny and fit is bad. I just think that if you have a positive self image it can change everything.
