"Ugly, spotted, fat, dalmatian, leopard, chicken pox, covered in dirt...you name it, l've heard it. From complete strangers, kids, adults, classmates, all to describe my body. For years I've struggled with acceptance for why I look this way. And now, while those words still sting and hurt when I hear them, I choose to look at what my body and I have been through together. Unique. Strong. Independent.
Beautiful. Curvy. She's gotten me through life on her strong legs, the arms carrying me through medical school. Her hair blowing wildly on days off with a cup of coffee in her hands and her heart full of gratitude.
So you can judge and call me whatever names you want, but it doesn't matter. Because when I see myself now, see a woman who rises above those names to embody all of the beautiful and wonderful things her body has withstood and risen above, and will continue to rise above for years to come." - Kim
