Cheyenne a.k.a Goofy Ginger calls herself “Body Positive Warrior” and refuses to buy into the world’s ideals of beauty.

As she puts it herself:

“My body is not goals. Just because having curves is trendy right now doesn’t mean that should be the new standard to aspire to. You’re thin, have a flat butt, a thick waist, or a small chest? You are still beautiful!

The idea of body positivity is to support ALL bodies. That means there should be no age, race, gender, or size limitations. You never had to be tall, slender, and tan to be beautiful, you need to be your own goals because you are flawless as you are. Don’t diminish the extraordinary individuality of your body and personality, pining over someone else.

Yes, I’m beautiful, but guess what, I still get insecure. I still have trouble looking at the mirror and getting myself to eat sometimes. I am not always able to show off my body without insecurities rearing their ugly head. Why? Because no matter how rich, popular, or socially attractive we are, we are still human.

I am not your goals.

I am not always ‘on poin’, and my life is not glamorous.

I have been cheated on, bullied, and depressed.

However, I am the most wonderful me there ever will be, and I strive to be better every day, not by copying someone else, but by being true to myself.

People with narrow noses, straight hair, and plump lips are pretty but so is every other shape, color, texture, and size of person. You are the only you on this planet. Don’t buy into the idea that you are not pretty enough, smart enough, WHATEVER enough, because right now, at this very moment, you already ARE enough! Don’t miss out on your life, wishing to have someone else’s.”

As James Fridman, the photoshop troll with a heart, once tweeted: “If you are happy and healthy the way you are, why change?”
