Messages to the 23 year old anon:
tombtrash asked you: I’m 280lbs and a size 18. I grew up without boyfriends, people crushing on me, dates, dates to dances, kisses, anything. I was twenty when I had my first kiss and he turned into my first (and current) boyfriend. It’s tough to not let it get to you, I know- But to the anon without human connection, you must love yourself when it feels like no one else does. I promise you are so worth the love and waiting will be so worth it when the right person walks into your life and wants to stay. <3
laughatlyfe asked you: The 23yr old, never been kissed/never had a relationship. I could have wrote that myself. I am in almost the same situation and what I found is that you have to love yourself first and you have to have confidence in who you are as a person and you cant let someone else define your worth. When the right person comes along you will know and he will love you for who you are no matter what you look like on the outside. Embrace yourself and someone special will come along the way, I know its hard. :)
Anonymous asked you: To the 23-year-old anon who’s never had a relationship: Don’t despair. You’re not alone. I’ve never had a real relationship either. But please, don’t do what I did. Don’t have a no-strings-attached (yeah, right) fling with some random guy because you think, “I don’t deserve this, so I’d better take it while I’ve got the chance.” I realize now that yes, I am overweight, but no, that doesn’t mean I’m not beautiful. That doesn’t mean I don’t deserve a loving relationship. I do, & you do, too. :)
Thanks, you guys!
