I'm okay... I'm not okay
I'm Tia. I'm 16. And I hate my body.
Overwhelmed by images of a beauty standard that is plastered all over social media, I, along with many others, struggle to find peace with my body.
Do you like your body? Are you satisfied with it? Are you doing something to change it? Do you wish it looked different? Looked like someone else's? Why is a concerning amount of us unhappy with it? It infuriates me to see capable, strong and beautiful people criticise their bodies. However, I find myself stuck in the same cycle. This book follows my journey as I try to find a way out of this cycle while navigating through my insecurities, fears, places where I find confidence and my two cents on how to revolutionise the problem. A piece of activism, this book is my way of exploring the origins of negative body image, ranging from psychological factors to economic ones. It aims to inform people about the role of the media, the internet, advertisement and beauty industries in hampering our self- esteem. Living in a system designed to constantly make us feel inadequate, how do we find it in ourselves to feel like we're enough?
