Is my body weird?

 "Is my body weird?" is a question we all have had or are asking ourselves currently. I have too. In fact, for almost my entire life until now, I didn't like my body. I was always insecure. Thicker thighs, flabby arms, love handles, double chin, it always made me feel like if I'm not perfect nobody would want me in their lives. I knew that wasn't okay, because when you have a love-hate or just a hate relationship with your own self, you have the same relationship with everything and everyone else. 

It is true. As soon as I started to accept my body, I started noticing the changes in my relationships as well as other aspects in life.  Each body is different; some are skinny, some are not. Some have a small waist but wider hips, some have the perfect shape and some don't. Despite all of this, it doesn't take away the fact that all of these bodies, irrespective of how different they are, are normal. And there couldn't be one thing wrong with that.

Nowadays, with the popularity of social media, it is quite accessible to stay on top of things. But with all the pros, come cons. We see these beautiful, perfect-bodied, perfectly made hair people on Instagram and think, "If I could look like that, I'd be winning at life." Looking at such people, although nothing wrong, might make someone insecure or it might bring up insecurities. See, it's human nature to compare ourselves with someone we think is better than us, which we don't realize, but it puts us beneath them and we're not beneath anyone, we're all equal.  

What I am trying to say is, no, no body is weird. The very definition of 'weird' is quite subjective, none relevant here, I assure you. You're normal, you're beautiful. We're all different in some way and that's not a bad thing. All the stretch marks, flabby arms, hip dips, birthmarks, wound marks are okay. You're not too tall, too short, too big, too fat, too skinny, or have a long neck, 'weird' teeth or just basically anything else. The quote, "Flowers are pretty  so are Christmas lights and they look nothing alike", comes to mind when I say this - you don't have to be 'perfect' to accept your body. You just have to be you and that is enough, always.
