I can not
change
the
world,
but hope
to have
a little
impact
on some
peoples
ways of
thinking.
This all started when I didn’t felt
accepted as a young girl in society
because of my weight. “My mom
had to look very hard for cute and
cool clothes for me and my grandma
always shortened my jeans,
because I needed a grown
woman size and therefore
the pipes of the jeans were
too long”. So as a kid I already
felt unaccepted, I thinks this
is not a good thing. As I grew
up I only realized more how
different from the image I
was. “We as (young) women
are constantly surrounded by
images of ourselves, but in
better versions. We see how we
should act and how we should
look, but mostly what we
should change about ourselves.”
I see it as my job to change
something about this, I can not
change the world, but hope to
have a little impact on some
peoples ways of thinking. And
make sure that there will be
more women who can love
their selves and embrace their
selves for who they are.
In America this is already a big
movement, but here in Holland
it is still a little taboo.. So here is
where the big change needs too
be made for me as a dutch curved
woman. S
