PRETTY HURTS: Wrath of Plus Size woman who have been bullied

Hi girls! I know it has been a while. I miss doing this. But today, I will not post OOTD like before. Instead, I want to share my feelings… It might be harsh to others but… This is my first time to be open regarding my “bully” experience.

I wrote this today, because I am tired listening to the people who were hurting me since I was in grade school until today.

 

Wrath of a Plus size woman who have been bullied

I AM BERNA CUEVAS… YES! IAM A BIG FAT WOMAN! If you do not like it, it is not my problem anymore! Deal with it.

I know a lot of plus size girls experience bullied by friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and mostly by their families. It is hard to be okay, if your own house was filled with negativity. I have been bullied so many times. 

When I was young, I cried and brush it off whenever they would call me names, telling me that I’m gonna be alone (nobody will like me to be their girlfriend/wife) or I will be infertile forever. 

 Today I have realized that I was too scared to stand up for myself thinking, I am going to be disrespectful to answer their hurtful and judgmental words towards me. Enough is enough!!!

I am fat when I was young until now! If you do not like me being fat, Shut your big mouth... YES! I ADMIT I AM NOT PHYSICALLY HEALTHY. SO ARE YOU!

 

 Whoever reads this post, I want you to know. You are Amazing! They will turn you down… It will be painful, but when the time comes… you will feel indestructibly happy about yourself --- plus size or not.

 

By the way, thanks to this song. Gives me a lot courage. 

 

 

Love with Curves,

Berna

Monday Delight

Happy weekday! After a long vacation, I miss my outside life for a long time. Yesterday, we started it with simple lunch outside. Some moments playing in Timezone and ended it with a cup of coffee.

BERNA THOUGHTS- A PROUD PLUS SIZE DESIGNER

Last holiday vacation, I did not do anything but to watch movie or series in my computer. One of them is The Silver Linings Playbook, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. There were lines from the movie that made me realize a few things about my life before, and what I'm doing right now.

Yes I admit. I failed with my "supposed" profession (a nurse). It's really hard to think about it. The pain and disappointment really made my self-esteem very low. I see myself hurting. The process of healing was long as it was very hard for me to forgive myself. Day by day I started to feel that my hard work is worthless. 

You have to do everything you can, you have to work your hardest, and if you do, if you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining.-- Pat (The Silver Linings Playbook)

When I see my work as a plus size designer from ERZULLIE'S Pre-Holiday and Holiday 2013 collection, for the first time, I feel genuinely PROUD of myself... thinking, Damn!! It's so beautiful and I looovee it! 

It makes me realize that I was wrong... It's okay to fail. You just have to do what is in your heart's desire... and the universe will move for you! Forgive yourself and be happy!

"There's always going to be a part of me that's sloppy and dirty, but I like that. With all the other parts of myself. Can you say the same about yourself f**ker? Can you forgive?"-- Tiffany (The Silver Linings Playbook)
