Life transcends our human existence, emphasizing the significance of being present in the 'Here and Now.' In my world, life's challenges resemble a surrealist painting. This blog space serves as our shared artistic canvas, confronting existential depths and navigating human experiences to foster understanding and connection, even in the midst of navigating through agonizing pain.

Now I know why 'Fat Obese' People Exist
I am one of them, or 'classed,' as fat by society
I am not about excuses about my being, all I know is that I woke up "fat"one day
I class fat as being unable to fit in my clothes
I fell asleep and woke to a similar personality but woke up to a different person physically
You ask how? .... I must have known right, that my body was changing? Quiet the contrary.
Nope I didn't zero, nada, nothing, no clue
How could I? For I was me, and remained me, even though bits of my personality changed along the way.
Moreover, people around me had not changed their reaction towards me
All was well in the world right?
Not exactly
Some countries would classify weight gain as a status and symbolism of wealth
Now in the "Western World," I would be classified as obese by appearance and by the GP's scale
Or boy do I wish to be immersed in some Indian or African cultures, or better yet ancient Western culture, when being fat symbolised wealth. Pretty sure I would be adorned and admired
Point to this story
I have awoken to another me
I stood in the mirror all the while and never noticed any change, for I was looking at me
Today, I stand in the mirror and all of the sudden do not recognise the body in front of me, or how I got this big ( again my own definition)
My clothes no longer fit me
I no longer like how I look in the mirror
I have insight to the fact that for the past year I lay still and did nothing
Nothing else in life mattered
Today I matter, so does the body I've morphed in
Moral of the story do not judge a book by its cover, there is always a story behind each face
