Self-love over society's standards

*One thing we should all know is that we can never satisfy everyone. People's preferences differ. Some people love dark-skinned men, while others prefer fair-skinned ones. Some men are drawn to women with curves, while others are more concerned with their face... It just always varies.* *Tastes differ, which leaves us with only one choice... Self-love, Self-want, and Self-care. We can't satisfy others, but we can satisfy ourselves, and we will attract those who love the way we are. Trying to change ourselves to meet others' demands does not always end up well... Imagine you like a guy and he tells you he prefers ladies with Big B, and cos of him, you rush to do BBL, months or years later, the same guy's taste might change and no longer desire ladies with such qualities, what happens to you then?* ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXMfA2qY8Ui499VPdSMNQuuuG2TVQ5Ep3avpnCQbZjVFh/image.png) picture is mine *Do not mind the blurry picture; it was taken in 2017, this use to be one of my favorite picture back then but see how it looks now lol, who knows if there will be better techology that will make the pictures we take now also blurry in the future and as you can see, I was a slim guy, and some people tell me that I am slim that I should eat more while there are also people who love me the way I was but then who cares about those who doesn't like my stature.* *Fast forward to 2020, I started to notice changes in my body, and the same people who complain I am thin are the ones now saying I am getting fat, weird, right? lol but ofcourse people will talk, some didn't mean it in a bad way, you know sometimes most people that talk about ones body do it just so they could have something to talk about with the person, some say it as a compliment while some says it to mock the person and those set of last people, I don't tolerate them around me. Any derogatory remark about my body gets an instant lash back and social distance. don't need salty people around me who take joy in body shaming others, oh well, I allow family and close friends to say what they can, I believe that is their way of teasing me xd.* ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/burlarj/23vhqH6xSWbjTuo58pHMS2xaMVfnzXicpL68unfxD3Ph68bYwsPJqoee3GmrX46TLKB5P.jpg)picture is mine *I rarely take pictures, but I am glad I took this one last month. It came in handy for this prompt xd.* *I recently moved back to my former area after spending 2 years in Shomolu, and people who knew me before I left and those who also knew me from the first picture always exclaim that I am now fat lol.... Oh well, there is a big difference in the two pictures, but my current weight is still okay... I mean, I can't remain the same forever; the more we grow, the more changes happen to our bodies.* *Even though we should not care about others' opinions about our body but that doesn't mean we should start overeating or overstarving in the name of a diet, which can later give us health problems... Obesity is not good, even if you don't care about what others think of you, there is a point you will know that your body is unhealthy, and you either have to eat more to gain weight or exercise and diet to reduce your weight.* *The most important thing is to be healthy and comfortable with our bodies.*
