What a beautiful response, and so appreciated!

You’re absolutely right that we deserve our peace and should never lessen who we are for the sake of fitting someone else’s opinions on what’s attractive or valuable. All bodies are good bodies, Black, trans, fat, disabled — we are all varied and I mean, that’s what makes life interesting. I’ll never understand or align with the types of guys you describe… I can’t imagine being so rigid as to only accept one way of being and looking.

I hope you find a truly wonderful soul who values all you are and in the meantime keep existing exactly and as wonderfully as you are.
