Embracing Fat




Hi, I'm Mimi. Miryam, officially, but most people don't call me that. I'm a lover, a fighter, a writer, and believer of all things unbelievable.

This is my personal blog, but, more importantly, it is a positive, inspirational space for those who are having trouble embracing their body, no matter what size they are.

“Maybe all one can do [in life] is hope to end up with the right regrets”- Arthur Miller

There’s a tattoo on the back of my neck of a chinese symbol that’s supposed to mean fate… but it doesn’t. And I don’t think I’d want it to. The mistaken meaning fits me, fits what I’m about. Yeah, I didn’t get this tattoo hoping it would end up meaning “love comma” or whatever, but I like that it does. You get me?

Why am I writing this? Because tonight I realized that I was in the exact right place at the right time. I haven’t felt that feeling in awhile, and it’s refreshing. Years ago, if you asked me what I wanted to do when I grow up I wouldn’t have said “sales associate/sex educator” by any means. But right now, it feels right. 10 years from now, I probably won’t have the same perspective. Fuck, I’ll probably be somewhere completely different. I don’t think I’m going to have regrets though. And if I do, I’m feeling pretty confident that they will be for the right reasons.
