Everyone starts somewhere...
The human being behind the stereotype-
The problem with stereotypes is that they're incomplete and don't tell a persons full story.
My outer appearance and my bad stories of my life are just a piece of who i am. But to insist on only these attributes is to flatten who i really am, and to look over the many stories that formed me.
But that's the problem with stereotypes, isn't it?
No one really has a fair chance to just be themselves without bigotry.
Instead that single story can rule your whole life! Just as i let it run mine for 23 years.
Being obese all my life i found recognition for equality very difficult. I was robbed of my human dignity, bullied and often times discrimination against...
Feeling very worthless at the end of 2011
I decided that i needed to rise above by redefining my life and the horrible stereotype it had taken on.
People told me all my life i was lazy, fat, slow, stupid, and i believed them.
I let myself become a victim of their words and in turn formed my own tragedy.
I couldn't walk without rest periods, sit in chairs without getting stuck or breaking them and i was slowly pushing everyone around me away because i felt completely inconsequential.
When i first started, i thought my biggest challenge would be the burning pain in my legs or lungs but really it was the voice inside that kept saying I Can't ("the stereotype")
But day by day that voice got quieter as i pushed harder and continued on to challenge myself -- And eventually that CANT turned into CAN and i discovered that person i thought i was, is really no match for the one i actually am.
I am not my stereotype.
I am NOT fat, i am NOT lazy, i am NOT slow, i am NOT stupid.
I am HUMAN.
I am STRONG. I work hard and I BEILIVE in myself!
I have worth!
I purpose that instead of simply focusing on how we can change ourselves to be different we focus emphasis on how we are the same.
Break boundaries and see that we are all humans behind our stereotype.
With the same hopes, dreams and aspirations to be the best us we can be!
