As a fat girl, I am constantly thinking about how my gigantic-ness is going to get in the way of something or someone else. I am forever wondering what’s happening in the minds of the people around me. I also admit I am so guilty of the jealousy that comes from not being the skinny […]
I was a little girl with a big crush! I had been in love with the same boy since I was 5- when I found him crying under the Missionary table at church. Growing up I was sure he would be the ONE. God must have made him for me. He was everything I ever wanted. […]
