THE THICK CHRONICLES

This is a movement! It is time for us to wipe clean the slate of beauty that has been placed in front us. In today’s society it is easy for us to hate the way we look, especially when the current standard of beauty is extremely unrealistic. Seeing all the different avenues of beauty media and then looking at ourselves in the mirror has us believing our reflections don’t measure up. We all think it’s just “me” who has the body that’s out of shape or not quite right, but the truth is the entire world has the same issues. The models have been airbrushed, touched up or nipped and tucked to present the perfect look of beauty and then sold to us as if they wake up that way. For too long we have been programmed by the media and magazines that you can’t be beautiful unless you look like an ad at all times. It’s a call to arms, we must gear ourselves up to fight back against body image diseases that can eventually lead to death. The person who is a size 0 and doesn’t love their body is the same as the person who’s a size 24 and doesn’t love their body. I want to show people that it’s more important to have self-worth than it is to have an hour glass figure. The Thick Chronicles is a compilation of short stories, poems and skits gathered from friends and family on how they feel about their bodies, be it positive or negative. I want to present it to the world so we know we are all beautiful in our own wonderfully made way, no if ands or butts, (pun intended). The Thick Chronicles is a body image story that wants you to find whatever it is inside of you, that allows you to be great at all times, to flow freely. Please be inspired by these true stories and know you are not alone, it is okay to feel beautiful in the skin you are in, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Don’t let one opinion of beauty run your life. Shine from today forward!
