Challenging the Power of Words

Challenging the Power of Words | Cozy Reverie
Have you ever thought about the terminology that is used to insult the human form?⁣
⁣
Fat⁣
Jiggly⁣
Soft⁣
Wide⁣
Saggy⁣
Big⁣
Lumpy⁣

⁣
But when you really look at these words, how are the actually insulting? They're just adjectives. ⁣
⁣
A friend recently called me out on this. I got defensive over one of these terms and he asked a simple question, "why is 'jiggly' considered a bad thing?" ⁣
⁣
Yeah, Amy, what the hell? 🤦⁣
⁣
In that moment, I realized how so many of us have been conditioned to believe these words to have a negative connotation to them. It took me years to even accept the word "curvy" as something of beauty. For someone practicing self-love, I was embarrassed for not noticing this sooner. These words described what is physically in front of us, but not their value.⁣
⁣
Wide hips do not lessen your worth.⁣
Cellulite does not lessen your worth.⁣
Back fat does not lessen your worth.⁣
Soft arms do not lessen your worth.⁣
⁣
Sometimes, writing about vulnerable topics like this makes me feel like I'm being incredibly dramatic. I'm not expert in self-love, but talking about this helps the practice. After all, words can be powerful...we just have to change the narrative. ​
