Vartika's World

Cheers to being comfortable in your own skin Cheers to those stretch marks that identify growth and gain  Cheers to that uneven skintone that makes you human and not a mannequin Cheers to those pimples that give you a red flush and ensures that there is blood flowing in your veins  Cheers to that crooked smile which makes it even more real than it already is Cheers to those hidden and unhidden scars holding sweet sour and bitter memories  Cheers to those dark circles that remind you of sleepless nights of hardwork  And a great round of applause for that feeling of anxiety and uneasiness that makes you feel your heart in your chest

Heya People!! Today's topic is, as you have read- "Body Positivity". Like most of the topics of my blog, this one is also kinda close to my heart. I am someone who have been insecure about the way I look for the most of the time. My initial insecurity was my body weight. The reasons for me being underweight were many. I had this thought in my mind that if I will eat than I will get fat. And when I got to know that this is not the case, it was too late. My body no longer accepted the quantum of food I should be eating. Moreover, in my growing years I was mostly ill, the reason being I was not eating healthy and enough. This thing also led to my second insecurity that was my height. I am 5'1" which is an average height of an Indian girl. But most of my teenage years I was insecure that I didn't look of the age I was. I was underweight and short! my worst two nightmares combined.  Now you must be wondering Vartika enough of the plot building. Tell us...

Have you ever been so busy in work purposely because you don't want to spend time with yourself alone? Deep down you know that being alone will bring back all that you are running from. But why are you running? Why you are so afraid of facing your own self? Well these questions are now forcing you to talk to yourself. Go for it. Listen to what your mind and heart is screaming to you.  You might have a hundred people to share your feelings with but if you won't listen to yourself first, none of them will be able to help. I am not a psychologist but all I have known from my own experiences is that you are your own best friend and the biggest enemy at the same time. So, it's your choice what you want yourself to turn for yourself. Kinda confusing, right? But there are a zillion things going on in your mind that you need to organise for yourself. No one will do that for you.
