The lesson is to embrace all of you and share it with the world even if they don’t want to hear it. I am one of a kind, there is probably no one out there exactly like me.Īrie says in the song that this is “a life learned lesson” that she was sent to share with her listeners. I am dramatic to a point that is ridiculous and my friends can vouch for that, but at the same time, I believe it is why they are my friends. I don’t know if that is something to be proud of because when I hurt, I hurt, and it is not pretty. I believe that I am truly a mess, but the mess that I claim that I am is me. Unlike Arie, I am afraid to show others who I really am, to take off the makeup and to be free. My momma said a lady ain’t what she wears but what she knows… On the bright side, Arie says that is ok so I am going to take her word for it.Īm I less of a lady if I don’t wear pantyhose Guess which one comes out on top? The cake and the Oreos for $500 Alex and I am ashamed, but not enough to change. I have done it before and it is the most saddening thing in the world to run out of calories when you are looking at a moist piece of cake or Oreos and milk sitting in front of you. I don’t want to have to count calories on day to day basis. I don’t want to run on a treadmill daily and not be able to eat bread and pasta because they are my jam. Sometimes I get down on myself about it, but ya’ll, I hate to work out. I am talking about the curves that involve having a tummy and thick thighs that may have a bit of cellulite that deemed as not ok to have but is definitely a reality to have. I am not talking about having a big derriere and wide hips with a “coke bottle” physique. And I am talking about different curves that the entertainment world has deemed as trending.
“My creator didn’t make no mistakes on me.”Ĭurves are very much so looked down upon these days. So why in the world does society make me feel like a leper because I don’t wear a size below a 10? It is outrageous and in my opinion unacceptable even though I can do nothing about it other than try to ignore what they say and embrace my curves the looks that God gave me. So why am I constantly encouraged to look like a “supermodel?” In fact, the average dress size for women in the United States is 12-14. I feel as though the majority of the world does not wear a size 2.
