She pulls her hair up every morning and looks in the mirror.
Sometimes she loves everything about her.
Her complexion
Her smile.
The way she glows with radiance.
But on the other days, she wants to shatter the mirror.
Her stomach is sticking out
Her eyebrows slowly look deteriorated
Her thighs stick together.
Her eyes are puffy from crying all night
And then one day, she realized she could be both.
Yes, she’s a little on the heavier side, but look how she glows with confidence about it.
Sure, she’s been crying, but it makes her look even stronger.
It’s called balance.
