Let me tell you a thing; I don’t make updates like this very often but today has been a winning day and restored my faith just a little bit in the world around me. I am fat. If you know me, you know this. You either love me despite it or it doesn’t really cross your mind. The world is not like the people who love me, the world is mean and hateful, and judgmental and the fear of that judgment and believing in that judgment has kept me living half a life for a really long time. Today I felt a little brave, I felt a little like stepping outside of my shell; and here is the thing that happened. I met the sweetest lady who happens to be a fabulous stylist to boot. Not only did she reassure me that my being fat wouldn’t be a problem but encouraged me to come see her salon before I made my appointment to be sure /I/ would be comfortable. Sometimes you have a thing happen to you at exactly the right time, where you meet someone who makes you feel a little more secure that the world doesn’t just set out to break us. It mended my heart a little bit. Sonja at Cuttin Up is amazing. And now I will stop rambling.
