acodedwaltz: Hello Jackie!

I don't know if you really remember me... I'm Tiffany and we were in some foundation classes together? I just wanted to say I've always thought you were super pretty and I think you have a really nice style. =) I hope that doesn't sound too weird or creeper-like of me, haha~.

In regards to your recent post, I definitely see it and recall times where I've noticed something very small but it'd end up impacting me in a bigger way than expected. It always made me feel down and weak, and I'd just end up beating myself up about it more for thinking I was worrying too much over "something silly." I've certainly had my share of major insecurities… If anything, it's reassuring to know I'm not so crazy for feeling that way about things like that, heh. We all deserve to be happy with ourselves. With the help of some wonderful supportive people, I've started embracing how I am and am also glad to not be the tiny skinny Asian stereotype. We should work those curves! =P

Enough of me rambling, we are all beautiful! And we shouldn't let the media and crazy people affect us into thinking there's only one definition for the word. =) Thanks for the post and take care!

Hi Tiffany, of course I remember you! Thank you so much for the compliments…you’re so sweet. You’re adorable and should absolutely be proud and embrace your curves!

And yes, please be reassured that you’re not crazy for feeling this way. For a while I was told that my insecurities meant that I was wildly jealous and crazy. Thanks ex boyfriends. But, the reality is that it has nothing to do with jealousy.

We absolutely are beautiful. Enough with the ugly media. Who friggin’ needs it!
