to me, i never feel pretty. i always look in the mirror and think i look okay, but when i see myself in pictures and stuff like that my self esteem drops and i go right back to thinking i’m a disgusting piece of garbage. i’ve never been the pretty girl. i’ve always stood on the sidelines while all my friends got asked out, while all of them got complimented. i’ve really never been called pretty or beautiful by anyone my age, and they like to pick on my chest size too. i’m mixed. i’m half asian and half white. a lot of the times when i was younger kids would mock me by pulling back their eyes, making jokes about eating cats and dogs, saying “ching chong”, stuff like that. that really affected the way i viewed myself, and half of my problems come from my self image. i think i’m ugly, fat, gross. i also have short legs and a long torso, something which is seen as not attractive a the world where models are all tall and skinny and have long, slender legs. i just never fit into any beautiful standards ever, and i don’t feel good enough to be what i want. i feel ugly next to all these gorgeous people. i just don’t feel good enough.

Hey baby :( I'm sorry that you feel this way. I understand completely. I promise you: you are not ugly. The racism that you've experienced is a result of ignorance. Don't let stupid people diminish your beauty. If you or anyone else who sees this wants to talk more, my snap is: cb_em I'm always here to listen.
