I am 104 kg and 6ft,
I constantly hear “You should lose some weight”
What do you think I am trying to do, I stopped eating processed foods, went on walks and was happy my weight stabilized,
then you had to run your ******* mouth

What is it about you?
Why can't you mind your own business?
Why is it that you find it okay to imply to my mother that my dressing is inappropriate, just because I wasn't wearing a duppatta

You judge my clothes,
Are you bothered by the fact that I rock both traditional and western clothes?
Are you afraid of the bold moves I make?
Are you afraid that your ladies are no longer under your control?
Let me tell you this, I am no man's Sabene, and I will not back down

Sabene is a phoenix,
her wings, you will never cut
You may burn her with your words,
but from those ashes, she shall rise,
Bolder, Braver and Freer than ever.
A big FU to society from my end. These are just some of the snide comments I've heard and today I decided to write everything down and clear my head. I heard a great quote from Reddit today, "They don't deserve to live in your head rent free". I've decided to give society the boot and I hope you will too.
No one deserves to be anything but what they are, don't let anyone change you.

To those of you, wondering, a duppatta is a piece of cloth worn by women around the neck to hide skin around the neck and chest.
