Sending internet hugs ~ I hope you are doing well.
It's heartbreaking to hear that a 7yo had to diet so society would see them as worthy. I've never seen you but you were always worthy and always enough. Even when on some days you don't feel beautiful, I hope you remember this.
I can see myself in Hyeji. I used to be fat as a kid and everyone in school would bully me and call me a pig until I had enough and cried in front of my mom and dieted at the age of 7 years old. I became slim by the time I was in high school. But the trauma doesnt go away. And it sucks you know. I'm not yet totally confident with my body but I'm slowly trying to heal myself, but there are just days that sometimes the trauma comes back. And when it does, it really sucks. Anyway, just wanted to share that. I hope she eventually heal herself ╥﹏╥
