Beauty

I never hated my body. Well, actually, I probably came close in middle school. But I don't think that I was extremely pretty. I've always been wanting to lose that little chub here or there. I still don't think I'm extremely pretty, but being in Korea has taught me a few things.
At the gym there are saunas and open showers. There are other places as well, but I'm at the gym a lot so I see naked bodies there more often. Women bodies are beautiful. I'm not attracted to women by any means, but they're beautiful. I always thought that fat was something you wanted to have none of. Just get rid of all that fat, I figured. I wanted to listen to people who said you need a little fat to be healthy, but I know I didn't really believe it. But seeing so many different sizes and shapes of naked bodies...fat is ok. In fat we need fat. If we don't have fat than we're not exactly normal and we're probably unhealthy. I think the beauty I see on the women at the gym is like the ancient Greek statues. And they are so much better in person. Women are beautiful and should not be ashamed of a little baby chub or a little fat. Those very tiny Koreans that look like they have no room for fat on them..have fat on them. That fat is beautiful. So, don't ever be upset because you're 10 pounds too much or something. Be healthy and love yourself and that's all that matters.
