Random little bit of self-consciousness:

I feel cheated that I didn’t get the full lips (like most of my family) and have no ass. Like, I’m black. I’m supposed to have those things.

I know we are not a monolith and that people come in all shapes and sizes. Most of the time I’m not bothered by my lips and overall shape but lord when the negative thoughts come creeping in? Oh the feelings of inadequacy! I’ve had moments like these since like middle school? That was long before the current booty obsession of society, so adding in the pics of beautiful people with amazing booties and I’m just like 😥
