Why is family like this? Instead of support, it’s constant little jabs that cut deep. They don’t have to lie and call me skinny, but why can’t they just shut up about it? Why do they have to bring it up in front of people—like it’s some joke, some conversation piece? My friends, my guy—they’re kind, they see me beyond just my body. They lift me up instead of breaking me down. But my family? It's always some comment, some joke that’s really just cruelty disguised as humor. And when I react, suddenly I’m ‘overreacting,’ and they tell me I’m ‘thin enough’ when I say I don’t want to go swimming. Like pick a damn lane. Either you think I’m too big, or I’m fine as I am. And honestly, why say anything at all? Just let me exist without commentary.
