Awkward

It’s ok to be weird and strange. Be yourself. Be you.

Some people perceive me as a sexy woman of the internet, but most people who have spent much time at all with me, out of polite company, know I’m full of gas. I belch and fart. Sometimes I try to do it more discreetly than others, other times, not so much, but that’s part of who I am. I’m a person who is comfortable in my skin and definitely a woman who poops.

I don’t believe in trying to cover up who I am with makeup, to hide my flaws everyday. People are gross and imperfect and full of blemishes. I’ve been full of digestive issues in my past which I’ve been told leads to having less shame when it comes to things like gas, so here I am.

It’s healthy to embrace who we are fully and not be ashamed or wish we were a different way.

I’m a little chubby around my middle, and sometimes more bloated than I’d like to be, but that is who I am right now and it’s ok to be this person. It’s a good thing to be this person, this person who is fully and authentically me.

It’s also ok to strive to be better. In my case with the bloating, I would like to eat a healthier diet that doesn’t cause intestinal distress, but I’m not there yet. I’m a work in progress and a goddess who farts. I’m a nerd, I’m a weirdo, I’m smart, I’m all the things that I want to be, and have other aspects of me that I slowly work to change. I love who I am now and who you are now is the perfect you to be in this moment. Love you for who you are now.
