Society would like to define us all by numbers. Usually, those numbers are on a scale. Or maybe a measuring tape.
*** society.
How many times can I say it? A number on a scale only defines you if you let it. How many people have I said this to? So, so many. A close friend of mine (who is quite skinny) always complains about how fat she is. 1) She is not fat and 2) Even if she were fat by society's standards, who decides these standards, and who thinks they have the right to fucking judge people because of a number?
Why don't people get it? You define yourself. If you let numbers define you, that's who you are. If you don't let it, you're so much more. How many times do I have to say it to be heard? Why does it feel, so often, like I'm the only one saying it? My family doesn't agree, my friends don't agree, society in general doesn't agree. Brainwashing, anyone?
Don't be brainwashed. Get a fucking clue. It's far too easy to define people by numbers, but it's a fucking lie, that's not who people are, and why don't people get that?
