As the days become considerably shorter and the light is changing I remember when fall use to be my favorite season. That was when I was in high school and I could start wearing more clothes. I did this not for fashion but to hide my own insecurities. We all do it some time in our life look in the mirror and criticize our bodies how this shirt, pants, skirt, socks make you look fat or show off some bulging fat role. I use to wait anxiously to wear my flannel and sweatshirts. These things were my security blanket to hide what I thought my body looked like.
A funny thing is although my body has changed considerably since those years I no longer like wearing over sized clothing. Sure I am like most people on certain days I will change an outfit 10 times because something is sagging, tight, loose, or just feels lopsided but I really don't care anymore.
I am sick of trying to look or be like someone society wants me to be. I am over hiding myself or feeling ashamed. I am who I am. I am Andrea. I remind myself of that everyday.
