<p><strong>Feminist Friday</strong></p>
<p>Many cultures has myths about period. In some cases, a normal physical process like this is considered taboo!</p>
<p>Well I&#8217;ve also seen people believing in myths about period and this is how I dealt with it:<br />
Last month my mom noticed some fungus growing on the jar of pickles she made.</p>
<blockquote><p>Our housemaid said that someone must&#8217;ve touched the jar while on her period, and that&#8217;s why the fungus grew.</p></blockquote>
<p>I tried convincing her that it was a myth and she didn&#8217;t fully believe me.</p>
<p>The day after, discovering that my cycle has started, I called her out with another jar full of fresh pickles on my hand. I put my hand on the pickles and told her, &#8216;My period has started today. We&#8217;ll see when the fungus will grow on them.&#8217;</p>
<p>She stared at me as if I have lost my head. But after this event, I don&#8217;t know if she had checked the pickles or not, but I hope she stopped believing in that myth!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m Ciara Mae B. Eom, a 21 year old Filipina. I&#8217;m an Aquaculture Science Researcher by profession. I&#8217;m not here to brag about what I&#8217;ve got right now because I haven&#8217;t actually achieved anything aside from being a researcher at this young age.</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m here to give an inspiration to all girls and show that poverty is not always an obstacle when it comes to finishing studying and being able to pursue your dreams.</p></blockquote>
<p>I<span class="text_exposed_show"> was born in a low profile family and was raised by a single mom. I wasn&#8217;t handed a college education but with full perseverance I didn&#8217;t let it hinder me, and I pursued my education myself.</span></p>
<p>I worked several part time jobs. I worked at night and would go directly to school in the morning during my first year in college. It was tough and at times frustrating but I pursued my education got myself several scholarships. I walked to school every morning and afternoon alone but all of these struggles had been surpassed by a single diploma.</p>
<p>All the while I thought that a single diploma was all worth it, but now as I am engaged in a job,</p>
<blockquote><p>I find that no diploma nor any recognition can surpass the beauty which can be taught by experience alone.</p></blockquote>
<p>I am thankful and consider myself blessed because I survived 5 tough years in college.</p>
<p>I would like to remind everybody that as every single day passes by do not be afraid to explore and venture. I&#8217;m excited for what is in store for me!</p>
<p>And I would like to thank every girl involved here for the inspiration you give me daily. <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="smile emoticon"><span class="_7oe" aria-hidden="true"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></span></span></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Open Topic MONDAY!!!! &#8211; Don&#8217;t give up</strong></p>
<p>I am <span class="highlightNode">Aliya</span> Patel, a blessed mother of two and extrovert by nature.</p>
<p>At present I am 39, got married at early age of 18 to a civil engineer. I have a son who is going to be 20 and daughter who is 19.</p>
<p>I am from INDIA and since my kids are grown up pursuing their higher education overseas, after giving 20 years of my life to this family I thought of completing my OWN education. I am now an undergraduate.</p>
<p>I have always been <span class="text_exposed_show">passionate about studies and wanted to pursue something but could not. When I shared this with my daughter she encouraged me to complete my graduation now and keep going ahead with whatever I want to do.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1583" src="https://clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1.jpg" alt="" width="666" height="960" srcset="https://www.clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1.jpg 666w, https://www.clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-320x461.jpg 320w, https://www.clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-560x807.jpg 560w, https://www.clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-240x346.jpg 240w, https://www.clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-360x519.jpg 360w, https://www.clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-380x548.jpg 380w, https://www.clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-20x29.jpg 20w, https://www.clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-640x923.jpg 640w, https://www.clone.dearalyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-480x692.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px" /></p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">So at present I am completing my graduation and also I am training myself to be an educational career counsellor. I&#8217;m doing an online course from UCLA, training myself in public speaking and some basic human behavioral skills and also doing a sociology course where I can get connected with the younger generation and support them for making decisions and can learn a lot from these millennials. </span></p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">I miss my kids a lot and I enjoy the company of these youngsters as I don’t like to be with my extended family </span>– <span class="text_exposed_show">because like everyone else I have suffered a lot and was even being abused by them. </span></p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">I have started all this in August 2018 and I feel I am blessed as over these 20 years, I was unaware of the outside world. But now I have a group of friends (you girls at GGG) with whom I can really talk to as professionals. We are an inspiration to one another. We women are born for something great which needs to be honored, and respected&#8230; SO HEY GIRLS!!!!!! KEEP GOING&#8230; LOVE YOU ALLL!!!!!</span></p>

<p>This is a REMOTE POSITION.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re looking for an <strong>experienced</strong> copywriter/SCRIPT WRITER for NAS DAILY to write Facebook Video Ad Scripts <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Your scripts should be to the point and be CONVERSION ORIENTED.<br />
Every word counts!</p>
<p>The videos will be short, 30 seconds to 2 minutes.</p>
<p>Videos are either &#8220;talking head&#8221; &#8212; or some just B-roll text with overlays like &#8220;NowThis&#8221; or other viral video agencies.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t understand what that means, this job is probably not for you.</p>
<p>Experience with video scripts is NON-NEGOTIABLE; this is not an &#8220;I think I could do it if I only tried my very best!&#8221; type of project.</p>
<p>SOME OTHER DETAILS YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF:</p>
<p>+ We&#8217;ve never worked with outside copywriters before.<br />
You would need to be able to lead us through your process (and help them make their own stronger where you can), manage expectations, and stand up for yourself.</p>
<p>+ Our team of four shoots and edits in-house; we usually do everything (script included) in A SINGLE DAY &#8212; so expect to move fast.</p>
<p>+ The right applicant is conversion-oriented, knows the Facebook platform, and MUST have written video scripts before. If any of the above does NOT apply to you, DO NOT APPLY.</p>
<p>IF YOU ARE INTERESTED AND QUALIFIED, HERE IS WHAT TO DO:</p>
<p>Email <a href="mailto:dearalyne@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dearalyne@gmail.com</a> with all of the following&#8230;</p>
<p>+ Your name<br />
+ A COMPELLING summary of your experience (why YOU?)<br />
+ A RELEVANT sample of your work (or better yet, several)<br />
+ Your availability<br />
+ Consider sending a VIDEO pitch (use Loom)</p>
<p>(P.S. Thanks Joel Klottke for helping us write the job description).<br />

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the final post in a <a href="https://clone.dearalyne.com/career_talent/my-life-changed-and-a-big-reason-is-girls-gone-global-ggg-1-3/">series of posts</a> by Tamara, a Girls Gone Global member. Tamara had confided in the members of the group at one of her low points in life, and she received tons of support along the way, which helped her turn her life around.</span></i></p>
<p><b>Part 3: I’m finally on the right track of life, and it’s thanks to you girls</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">November 11</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 2018</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Living in Singapore has been one of the happiest times of my life. I want to thank, yes, once again, all the GGG ladies for their incredible support. Especially my friend Kai, who I met through the group, who gave me the tools to start my life in Singapore as a waitress with a place to stay for about ten days. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am happy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the end of my first trimester, I finished with all A’s in my courses! I have many close friends who care for me, we have a lot of fun going out, talking, or playing, as well as studying and supporting each other. I have an incredible paid internship on a topic that I care about with a friendly, smart, and understanding boss. I also met Alyne, Nas, and Agon, which made my year! I also met GGG’s Singaporean group, who are a bunch of strong and amazing women. And three days ago the Dean from my school contacted me to offer me to work for him as a part time student research assistant! How did this even happen!? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am beyond grateful! My life has been turned around in less than a year from nothing to everything that I could have ever dreamt of! Even when this master’s degree ends, now I know what I have to do, and I have all of these people surrounding me that I can count on (and they on me). I will keep working hard, taking advantage of all opportunities that are presented to me. </span></p>
<blockquote><p>Thank you Alyne, because Girls Gone Global has impacted my life in ways I could not have imagined.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To all ladies out there still struggling. Just keep trying. Do not feel afraid to ask for help. I promise it gets better.</span></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the second post in a <a href="https://clone.dearalyne.com/career_talent/my-life-changed-and-a-big-reason-is-girls-gone-global-ggg-1-3/">series of posts</a> by Tamara, a Girls Gone Global member. This story follows how Tamara&#8217;s life started changing ever since she joined Girls Gone Global and had a support group of women to keep her going.</span></i></p>
<p><b>Part 2: My turning point in life</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">June 5</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 2018</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I wanted to let you know, following on my last post, that I GOT ACCEPTED TO THE MASTER’S DEGREE! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First of all, I want to thank every single woman who took the time to message me with advice, wished me nice thoughts, gave me strength, and empathised with my situation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was driving from a long day at the internship, almost home, when I heard my phone’s email notification sound. I glanced quickly and saw the university’s I applied to name. My heart raced as I carefully parked my mom’s car. I immediately ran into the living room yelling at the top of my lungs to my parents “The results are in!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I opened the email, took a couple of minutes to open up, my heart beating fast and I read “We are pleased to inform you…” Tears flowed out of my eyes like rivers going down my cheeks while laughing uncontrollably like crazy. I hugged both of my parents and I called some of my loved ones to give them the great news. And now finally, after a year of being lost, insecure, unsure and disappointed with myself, finally, I feel at peace. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everything fell into place. I had, once again, a path to follow. A passion for what I will be doing. I felt valuable again. </span></p>
<blockquote><p>To be honest, I hate to admit that this was the turning point that made me believe in myself again, that helped me see I am valuable and that I have potential. I should have never forgotten this in the first place, no matter the circumstances. We are all valuable, and we should never let ourselves forget that. That is something that GGG group has helped me realize.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I just want to say thank you to all the amazing GGG girls. Your comments were absolutely important and helped me remember who I was. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The next step: Unfortunately, I did not get a scholarship. I will be applying for a loan, which is a little scary, but I believe it is worth it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I will be studying International Political Economy in Nanyang’s Technological University’s Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) in Singapore. Despite this being so different from my undergraduate degree, I plan to put all my effort to excel and take advantage of this unparalleled opportunity. Singapore is also one of the only three city-states in the world with so much potential and influence, and I just cannot believe that I will be living there for at least a year! I need to be there in July, just one month from now so I need to be quick. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now I am a step closer to fulfilling my dreams, and I love every single girl in Girls Gone Global and I am, again, forever grateful for your comments, the group, and your lives… From the bottom of my heart, you are all amazing and remember I am here as a friend to anyone who would like to talk, meet, ask, or anything else. </span></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the first post in a series of posts by Tamara, a Girls Gone Global member. Tamara confided in the members of the group at one of her low points in life, and she received tons of support along the way.</span></i></p>
<p><b>Part 1: Feeling lost without a career or direction in life</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">May 29</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 2018. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hello everyone! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am Tamara and I am 24 years old. I am very happy that Girls Gone Global group exists, and I will pour all my love into it. Thank you Alyne for creating this group!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I will just jump right into it. I graduated exactly a year ago and I have not been able to get a job despite over 30 interviews with really great companies. I know everyone goes through something like this, I don’t know why I am going through this. Especially because I have really tried hard. Even before graduating, I kept focusing on what my next steps would be, but I achieved nothing. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What frustrates me the most is that I might have studied the wrong major for me (business).  I know it is a useful skill to have and a great backup plan, and there are a lot of career options. But I feel so lost. </span></p>
<blockquote><p>I didn’t know if I should at first, but after being encouraged by brave ladies in this group,<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I decided to spend all my savings to a last-minute trip to Southeast Asia last January. </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I just wanted to leave everything behind for at least a short period of time, which resulted in almost two months of backpacking. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a temple in Bangkok, I met someone my age working in the United Nations – that’s my dream job, and I was awestruck to have met someone working there. After some talking, I asked how he got in, and he told me about his master’s degree on International Studies in one of the most important universities in Asia, Nanyang Technological University (NTU). With his help, I applied there as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After waiting for 6 months they will let me know this May if I am accepted or not! I am incredibly passionate about this topic, International Relations, but I feel like I know nothing at all, so I have been reading and reading for now. I even finished an introduction textbook. It is one of the top programmes, so it is not easy to be accepted. Even if I get accepted, I might only be able to attend if I get one of the several scholarships I applied to… </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hopefully I will be able to enjoy this new path and find myself in it, but currently, it has been very hard. I studied in another city and now I came back to my parent’s home in a place where I barely know anyone. I do not go out. I barely talk to anyone. I just started a non-paid internship – for resume experience. I feel pressure from far away friends and from my relatives. The more time that passes the less hope I have that my life will change course. I do not really know what I am doing. If I do not get this master’s degree, I will just have to continue trying. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have always said that I wanted my career to be first. That as a woman, I never wanted my life to depend on my parents or husband, if I happen to marry. But now, I literally have no career and I just feel so lost.  </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am currently living in Arizona, but I was fortunate enough to travel while growing up. I was born in Spain, moved to Chile, then moved to Mexico, and now I live here. I consider myself Mexican as my parents are. I love food, traveling, reading, learning, and video/photo editing.  </span></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Topic: Fearless/Feminist Friday</strong></p>
<p>Mabuhay! (It means hello in the Philippines!)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m 26 years old and I&#8217;m a CERTIFIED NBSB (No Boyfriend Since Birth) <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>I have been asked a lot of questions about being a NBSB, but they should just remain rhetorical if you ask me, because quite frankly they are very difficult to answer without being sarcastic. Let me give you some examples:</p>
<h3>1. Are you kidding me? Really?</h3>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> Yes, I&#8217;m not joking. Indeed! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f914.png" alt="🤔" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h3>2. Maybe you are too picky?</h3>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> No, I&#8217;m not. Being picky is different from having some standards. Standards are good, they provide you with  an opportunity to measure how well the men treat you and respect you. That&#8217;s how you find someone who values your worth as a woman.</p>
<h3>3. Are you a gay?</h3>
<p><strong>Me (In my mind)</strong>: I have thought about it, but no I am not a lesbian nor a bisexual. I love the LGBT peeps though. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f308.png" alt="🌈" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h3>4. Are you planning to be single for life?</h3>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> Of course not. I want to have my own family and babies. I want to be pregnant and to see my next generation. I want to have a partner that I can cuddle every moment. (These are my dreams.) <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f495.png" alt="💕" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f60d.png" alt="😍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h3>5. But then why?</h3>
<p><strong>Me (Giving them a smile):</strong> Because I believe God reserved me for the person who will love, care, accept me for who I am and value my worth as a woman. And he will come not in my preferred time but in God&#8217;s preferred time.</p>
<p>My wholeness is the greatest gift that I can give to that person. So for now, I stay single. I want a long-term relationship not a short term one. My season will come! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f64f.png" alt="🙏" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f495.png" alt="💕" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<hr />
<p>People say &#8216;don&#8217;t get your hopes too high&#8217;. Let me tell you, just PRAY, WAIT and BELIEVE. When he comes, I would be already so full of love for myself that my only purpose is to share it with him.</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t be the one demanding or asking for love, but I will be the one who selflessly gives it. I want to be the person who has all the gifts of understanding and love for him. When he comes, I can only offer him the best of who I am. This waiting process builds patience, anticipation and transforms characters.</p>
<blockquote><p>Being a single woman is not a disease or a wrong decision!</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s a good opportunity to spend time, to encourage and to share the love to your family, friends, loved ones and colleagues. You can do things solo and be independent, because you&#8217;re a strong beautiful woman with a heart. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f60a.png" alt="😊" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This guest post is by Safina. Thank you Safina for sharing your heartfelt story on how you deal with criticism! To support her, check out her blog <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://ainis95.wixsite.com/website/blog?fbclid=IwAR2H0627brXwYgmJRlMUwWS_IOuo2sW3DyfRBtFo9PtH9a85k-vl1ASfW34">Yeh Duniya and My Two Cents</a></span>.</em></p>
<p>Recently, I was at a gathering where A was telling B that I&#8217;m a good cook. The reply B gave was: &#8220;Of course. Not surprising. Look at her.&#8221;</p>
<p>And conversations like this one have happened many times.</p>
<p>Why? Why look at me? Why does my physical appearance determine my ability to cook?</p>
<p>Yes, I&#8217;m overweight. Yes, I love food.</p>
<p>Thanks to these people, these two factors apparently determine a person&#8217;s cooking skill.</p>
<p>I have been overweight ever since I was in primary school. My weight has decreased and increased over time. I rarely succeed at losing weight. Even when my will was at 200%, I had only managed to lose a few kilograms as it is really hard for me.</p>
<p>You might think it&#8217;s probably because I&#8217;m not an active person. Believe me, I was an active person until a year ago and my weight was the same even then.</p>
<div class="rich-content-viewer_left__2p1aK _3_vxt">
<blockquote>
<div>Do people think I <em>like</em> being overweight?</div>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="rich-content-viewer_left__2p1aK _3_vxt">
<p>When I was in standard 3, my Malay language teacher used to reprimand me in front of the whole class all the time. We had those blue and really strong wooden chairs in class, and I had this habit of tilting the chair forward as I&#8217;m sitting on it, while leaning on the table. She would shout from the front of the class &#8220;Safina, the chair will break. You&#8217;re fat. Remember that!&#8221;</p>
<p>And she would enjoy a good laugh with the rest of the class. I was 9 years old and at around 36kg (79lbs). She just wanted to make a joke at the cost of a fat person.</p>
<p>There was even a close relative who made fun of my weight throughout my life, calling me &#8220;fat&#8221; many times. Until one day, I lost it and shouted at the person for all their words of torture. Then that person said &#8220;It&#8217;s just a joke.&#8221;</p>
<p>A joke? Really? I already had enough insults from outsiders, I didn&#8217;t need this stupid joke from a close family member.</p>
</div>
<p>When I was studying in college, I had a crush on my classmate. One day, we were all walking back to our dorms after the last class of the evening and I was looking at the queue at the cafeteria nearby (I was famished) so I didn&#8217;t look left and right before crossing the road. A girlfriend next to me realized I was going to be hit by a motorbike and pulled me to safety, saying &#8220;Safina, be careful!&#8221;</p>
<div class="rich-content-viewer_left__2p1aK _3_vxt">
<blockquote>
<div>My crush was among those walking with us and he said, &#8220;Oh chill. Even if a car hit her, she would&#8217;ve survived. She&#8217;s fat.&#8221;</div>
</blockquote>
<p>Thanks to him, I didn&#8217;t have my dinner, and I cried all night to the point where my roommates had to call my best friend to talk to me. But it didn&#8217;t help and I was depressed for the next 2 weeks.</p>
<p>These are just three of the hundreds of examples of how I got belittled due to my weight. I started becoming a good cook only around one and a half years ago. It was when I was living in Spain and wanted to save up to travel around Europe as food outside was really expensive.</p>
<div class="rich-content-viewer_left__2p1aK _3_vxt">
<blockquote>
<div>If being a good cook is the reason why I&#8217;m fat, why was I fat all those years before that?</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="rich-content-viewer_left__2p1aK _3_vxt">
<p>Recently, I started taking hormone medications. I also have had imbalanced hormones since I was 10 years old. A hard time losing weight is one of the consequences. Only my family and closest friends know about this. My doctor&#8217;s weight loss goal for me is only 5kg (11lbs) in the next 6 months. Can you see how little she aims for me to lose due to my hormone issue?</p>
<p>My point here is, being concerned for me due to health issues is understandable. My friends say I&#8217;m pretty. My boyfriend says I&#8217;m the most beautiful woman he knows and I truly know he means it. He never understands when I go on a diet. And yet, I am currently on a diet to actually make myself feel even more pretty and be happier.</p>
<p>So, then, why are people just so harsh? Why is it, that in 2018, people are still belittling fat people? Making mean jokes? Calling us names? Saying we&#8217;re good at tug of war because we&#8217;re fat? Throwing stones at me because I&#8217;m fat? If you&#8217;re concerned about my health, you sit down and talk to me nicely. Belittling me just makes me want to find solace in food.</p>
<p>Stop these stereotypes. I&#8217;m a good cook because I love cooking. I find happiness in it. Not because I&#8217;m fat.</p>
<p>Have a great day and enjoy the pictures of some of my master pieces <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
