“And it all starts when we say no. We can say no. When someone instructs us to lose weight, to shave, to straighten our hair, to get “in shape”, to wear makeup, to wear less makeup, to dress appropriately, to dress more stylishly, no not that stylishly, to stop standing out, to stop making noise, to stop being so damn large, to stop making excuses, to stop fighting, to just get along, to just do what we tell you, to just buy into this commercial weight-loss plan, to just take these pills, to just have this cosmetic surgery, to just follow instructions, to just know that we’re doing this for your own good, to never walk alone, to never walk alone in that outfit, to never draw attention, because no one wants to see that, because no one wants to see your body, because no one wants to see you.
You can tell them no, and refuse to say more on the subject. No is always an option. It’s a small word, a difficult word, a word that speaks volumes in a single syllable, and one that gets easier to say the more you do it. It’s part of your arsenal, whether you realize it or not, and it’s a powerful weapon.
You can say no.
You don’t have to explain it.
You don’t have to apologize for it.
You can just
say
no.”

Forfriskende!!
Ja, den ga meg litt glød! 🙂
Hei!
En perfekt start på dagen. Skal jeg spise en fornuftig frokost og kle meg pråååpert med en passelig dose mascara på vippene i tilfelle noen kommer innom?
Nei.
Skal jeg dra på picnic for å glede de andre når jeg selv har lyst på tv-tid og forkjølelsespleiing av meg selv?
Nei.
Skal jeg bare spise spinat og kyllingfilet resten av mitt liv?
Neeeeeiiiii!
Dette blir en bra dag!
Med vennlig hilsen Den urolige moren, Mi.
