This is 315 lbs. 5’6”. And guess what? I’m allowed to wear the cute clothes.
 Crop tops? Mine!!! 
Short shorts? Yep. 
Arms out? Every damn day! And I’m also allowed to think I’m super cute. Because… let’s be real. I am. I’ve been plus-sized my entire life. As young as 10, people were already calling me “overweight.” And the world made sure I knew I was less than. Like I didn’t deserve to feel pretty, seen, wanted. We’re taught we can be confident despite how we look—but never because of how we look. I was the size 18 girl in high school wearing a bikini at the local beach. Why? Because I wanted to tan like my thin besties. Who, by the way, never made me feel less than. But the world? The world wasn’t so kind. Boys didn’t call for me—they called to ask about my friends. Because why would they like this, right? 
Honestly? A blessing in disguise. 
Because the right person? They’ll see your worth without needing to squint or shrink you down. You deserve to wear the cute clothes. 
You deserve to feel cute. 
You’re valuable at any size—not just small, medium, or large. You are worthy of love, affection, and attention.
