Anonymous asked: Tell me one thing, about yourself, that makes you an ugly person.

I have plenty of negative traits but they’re fairly common. I procrastinate, I have a horrible sense of humour, I can be incredibly immature but there aren’t many that make me feel like I’m an ugly person more than the fact that I feel like I’m shallow.

I don’t know if it’s true or not but the way I see myself in the mirror is something that pisses me off about me. I used to be very fat and it’s something that has stuck with me in a really big way. It has been an incredibly long and hard journey for me to lose the weight that I did (nearly 100lb) and to keep it off for 6 years. I still feet fat. The problem is that I kind of resent people who complain about their weight or the way they look yet do nothing about it to the extent that I did something about it.

Life isn’t easy and it certainly doesn’t get easier if you sit around and make excuses for the state you’re in. I know I don’t listen to the words I’m typing now when it comes to other parts of my life but that’s just the way I feel.

It’s not something I’m happy about or something I’m proud of but it’s something that’s true about me. I don’t tolerate people as much as I should - as much as I know I have it in me to do so. I feel my lack of empathy in this area makes me ugly.
