FUCK TRYING TO BE SKINNY (OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT YOU ARE)

Instead, I'm way more into being healthy, owning my body, and finding the beauty in everyone else's.

An ode to that which is against the grain:
































May these photos give us a fresh perspective, one that helps us think in a more healthy way, one that helps us accept ourselves just as we are, and one that helps us see how truly beautiful we really are, regardless of shape, size, color, gender, etc etc.

Salt N Pepa - "Whatta Man"

"My man gives real loving that's why I call him Killer
He's not a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, he's a thriller
He takes his time and does everything right
Knocks me out with one shot for the rest of the night
He's a real smooth brother, never in a rush
And he gives me goose pimples with every single touch
Spends quality time with his kids when he can
Secure in his manhood cuz he's a real man
A lover and a fighter and he'll knock a knucker out
Don't take him for a sucker cuz that's not what he's about
Every time I need him, he always got my back
Never disrespectful cuz his mama taught him that"

Need I say more?
