 Being introverted, and having built up additional walls, it can sometimes be difficult for others to get to know me. This blog is all about changing that.

My Unpopular(?) Opinions About #Wap

When I started this blog, I said that the purpose was to give my opinion on a variety of issues. The social discourse surrounding Cardi B's and Megan the Stallion's new number one song and accompanying music video has caught my attention, and prompted me to share my thoughts. I am not a fan of most of the mainstream music of this decade so it is not my bop(it's 90's and 2000's music for me). However, unlike many of the commentators online, I am not going to pretend that I "accidentally" (do we look stupid?) heard it. Because of the hype surrounding the release of the song, I watched the music video on the same day of its release. I have no real opinion on the song itself, however, I do have opinions on the discussion. Living in a country that tends to be highly conservative at convenient times(yes I really just said that, sue me), I expect that my thoughts will not be popular.

Over the years, I have fluctuated between big and small in size. Growing up I was so thin , you could see right through me. At both primary and secondary school, this was one of the reasons other girls had for teasing me. As hurtful as this was, the admiration I received under the male gaze(to be explored in another post) was enough to prevent me from hating my body. As I grew older and became more "slim-thick" , I loved my body so much that my ego was through the roof. After I gave birth to my daughter, my body "snapped back" easily due to the exercise and healthy diet I had participated in while pregnant. After falling pregnant again(you can read what it was like losing this baby here ), I gained a lot of fat, partly due to the fact that this pregnancy, being extremely difficult, rendered me practically bedridden. Unfortunately, my body did not bounce back the way it had after the previous pregnancy.
