Hey, I’m Saanvi. Just another normal teenager. Every day as youngsters we hear from our peers these clothes make me look so skinny, it’s better if you pose like this it makes you look slim. We say all this as if being a little chubby or fat is bad. Why can’t we normalize being fat? Bullying your friends for being fat doesn’t make you seem popular or cool. And this doesn’t end here; people are bullied for being skinny too. You may have been a victim or a villain. God has made us all with the same blood and flesh after all. Why not appreciate all forms of beauty? We are so focused on looking a certain way which we now describe as perfect. This ‘perfect’ is actually toxic .A perfect person is someone who has learnt how to find beauty in everything. So, why don’t we normalize all body types and stop making people feel left out for looking different. We all have experienced some sort of putting down on the basis of how we look whether it be online or physically. From now on make a promise to yourself. I will find beauty in everyone and will stop body shaming.

We MUST Talk

We MUST Talk

I would like to talk about mental health. Nows let’s say that I have a rotten tomato in my hand . Nobody in their right mind would eat it because it would make you sick. But we eat rotten dirty thoughts almost everyday . And you know what happens when we eat these rotten dirty thoughts? We get sick!

My Purpose

My Purpose

What is the meaning of life? Why are we cursed to forever walk the empty hallways of life? Lights of hope flickering over head. The twisted warped hallways that pass as perfectly pristine, because that is what I show people. What we all show people. To society we are perfect. Robots, running the same routine. But why? Why is it that society judges us when we wear the mask that is society?
