I want you to stop right now. Copy and paste this. Print it. Whatever. Just save this and read it whenever you can. I want you to know that right now, here in this moment, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
I don’t care if your make up is on point or if your hair got blown off during your commute. I don’t care if your ensemble got wet with either sweat or the rain outside. Even if your eye bags are so deep like the Atlantic Ocean… I want you to know that you’re beautiful today.
If you got discolored skin, pimples or acne wherever, I want you to know that you are amazing just the way you are. Even if you don’t feel confident about your teeth because it’s yellow or it has a gap, that’s just one of the many unique things about you.
And tell you what? I tell you. I am not the only one that thinks you look beautiful today. Your colleagues around you? As you passed by, I’m pretty sure one of them wished they were you. One of them wondered --- “How the hell does she do it? She walks in and out of this office all kept and together. How the F*CK does she do it? What’s the secret?”
Even if you are unemployed, if you went out to do some particular errand in a nearby store, rest assured, you have made someone out there stop in bewilderment. It may be the clothes you are wearing. Your flawless and flawed skin. Your amazing eyes. Your cute nose. Anything. A man out there stopped and appreciated you in all angles as you have passed by.
It’s inevitable.
You’re an Erzulliesta. Your confidence and fierceness is so strong, you don’t even have to do anything. It just happens. You walk by and people just have to see. They just have to break their necks when you walk by. There’s something about you. It’s more than just your curves or the accessories you picked that way.
Maybe it’s your manners and the way you believe that even if you stepped out with a T-Shirt full of holes, bacon panties and unruly bra and “house shorts”, you are the fiercest curvy that ever walked the planet. Even if you are in your wildest, you are the most seductive and delicious thing that we will ever see today.
Amazing isn’t it? Now go out there and do your duty. Exist and inspire. Fierce up!
