Fat Property.

So here’s the thing. You have problems. How do I know this? Because everyone has problems. And as problems will do they will manifest themselves in the physical world. Maybe you drink too much, maybe you are constantly anxious for other’s approval, maybe you buy alot of crap you don’t need, maybe you do drugs, maybe you sleep around, maybe you do nothing but watch tv, maybe you are controlling, maybe you are super judgmental, maybe you cheat on your signifigant others, maybe you need meds to get through the day. But if any of these are true, you have one advantage over me. Because your problems are private. No one can tell by just looking at you. But everyone with eyes can see what my problem is. And because of this, my problem is now completely public, and for this reason this makes me public property. Strangers think they have the right to mention it. News agencies publish headless pictures, because our bodies are apparently public wares. The world feels a feeling of entitlement to judge me.

But I am not public property. I am not a celebrity. I did not put my self out there on tv or youtube for fame or fortune. I never ran for public office. My life is not funded by your tax money. I am just Fat. That’s it.
