A Terrible Sadness

August 04 2010

I seldom reply to threads and topics posted on here..I generally try to keep my opion to myself.. however.. I have just read the thread on slim wemon.. and how it turned into a slim vs fat debate and a terrible sadness filled my heart.. so many people trying to defend their belifs and the prefferences... and yet so few failed to not pass judgement.. I have been a big girl all my life.. I got teased and beaten and picked on.. and yet never once.. have I ever wished anything but love and happiness for all those around me.. because the truth is.. we all have our bad points.. no one in this world is perfect.. skinny..fat..man..woman.. we are all so very beautiful because we are part of this world.. we all matter! so very much! looks fade.. go to a nursing home and have a chat with the elderly.. what more have they got to offer physically to this world.. and yet they are the most beautiful of all! it is because of them..that we are who we are! and so in sadness I reply ... your wife is beautiful... not because she is skinny.. but because she is who she is.. because she helps to make this world a better place.. to the larger people out there.. you are beautiful too.. not because you have curves or because of your 'great personality' but because you are alive...you laugh..you cry..you care.. we will never be here again.. our time is short.. take the time in life to see all the beauty not just part of it... ever loving Missy XX

    LittleMissXX Lovely post. You are so right that so few realise that the real essence of a persons being is not in the looks, size, shape, but in the human being underneath the covers. It's something that i've always believed personally and wish others would stop so much with the superficial thoughts... Anyway hugs Wayne x

    I just want to hug you Missy, you put into words my beliefs so well. I have no time in my life for people who think they are better because they are beautiful, all I have is a moments sorrow for them then I move forward.

    I wish I could take that sadness away my darling, but you're the only one that can do that. What I can do is let you know I think your beautiful and suggest you start to ask the question "why" without yourself passing judgment on others. For example, Why on a site where all is bared by most for the RHP world to see do we still need to defend our body shapes. And Why is it that in defending ourselves we must attack others. The answer as I understand it. I am human I am frail I am vulnerable I wish to be perfect, although I know perfection does not exist. I am the sum of my experiences, good and bad. I crave respect, but it scares me to receive it. I feel the need to protect the thin crust of self-respect and self-image that exists in my mind. I try and use humour to deflect from my frailties. And while I try to tell myself that I do it to bring smiles to peoples faces, I know it is really about making myself feel better. Makes no sense, but I know it to be true. You have already stepped up to the plate and for that I thank you. Contributing yourself to the forums as yourself, that’s all we can do. You've got a cute smile, so it would be good to know that that smile is on your dial. And remember Everyone is beautiful until they prove to me otherwise.

    Well said Missy. I must admit I was a little trepidatious about reading this post, but so glad I did. We seem to have strayed away from the hard core stuff, instead, wallowing in 'deep as a puddle' value statements based upon the landscape of one's body...and we all know, gravity, children and a myriad of other external & internal sources can change that at any particular point in time. Thank you for putting things into perspective!! I, for one, would like to see more of you around here!! xx

    Congrats LittleMissy for you have just hit the nail right on the head! Everyone is this world is beautiful regardless of how they look! Beauty comes from within. It is a sad fact that society does not see this anymore. I, for one, agree with you 100% Pusscat xx

    I loved your last original post and I love this post as well...you are a true gem in life hun. Never change who you are. You have given me food for thought here and I think it is about time that I turn off the computer for a while everyday and take the time to find the real me again. Anyone who has you in their life, whether it be just for a day or for a lifetime, is very lucky indeed. You are beautiful inside and out. xFunlovingx

    Just like the song says, a whole lot of woman needs a whole lot more. Probably because of the experiences life has throw at you along your journey. Just be comfortable with who you are and remember you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else.

    That was such a heartfelt comment and I'm sure it's given a bit of a kick in the arse to those that needed it in the other thread. Everyone is beautiful and should be reminded so on a daily basis! I love this website you-are-beautiful dot com (dashes included) it gives me warm and fuzzies knowing that ordinary people around the world leave a bit of art behind to remind those around them that they are beautiful! Great concept and great thread Missy.xx

    Oh Missy, thanks for this post. I did actually write a response about how judgmental we are as a species and how we have to make a conscious effort to fight the urge. Alas big brother was stuffing up everyones posts and mine never made it on the page, no loss really just a little opinion of my own! We all should feel lucky to be ourselves as there's always someone in a less fortunate position. Also any ideally beautiful person can be struck by fate and have their health and/or body taken away from them. Life's a lottery, be happy with your winnings and considerate of others who might not win as much as yourself.

    Hi hun Well said! i agree entirely. Personality is much more important and i know how it feels to be teased when you are younger when all you wish is the best for everyone, event he bullies. I too was once a biog girl and I am also extremely proud of myself for losing all the weight and keeping it off. But that been said no matter what size you are it's the size of your heart that matters most. If you love who you are and people can't except you for you then they are the ones missing out. We are all human and noone is perfect an i think it would do everyone the world of good to remember that. great thread hun I wish you all the happiness in your life and hope you find whatever it may be that your heart desires as you truely are a greta person and deserve it the most.

    Hey Little Missy you are totally right, well said. When I read your post and the first thing that came to mind was a song I'd heard a while ago called 'Not Perfect' its by Tim Minchin and it's worth listen.
