From the Diary of a Fat Woman: Love Knocks Her Door

Dear Diary,

My Mommy used to say, "Who is going to marry a fat girl like you? Moreover who the hell ever going to fall in love with you?" 
And I would back answer her brutally,"Some Prince Charming who is going to love me for who I am rather than someone who would feel embarrassed at my cheese and butter fed body."
Deep beneath I knew that this wisecrack wasn't even amusing my heart. I was doubtful. Was she right ? But then, Is it wrong for a fat woman to demand love ? Can't she anticipate a creepy ring waiting desperately to dazzle on her finger ? Is it only meant for those feather weighed folks ?
Remember, once I told you,"Love became my inspiration and I contemplated what had made me feel miserable about myself for years" ? 
Well! This is how it happened.
Friendship was my favorite book and every chapter had one name printed on it. I started presuming that no other character could ever dare to invade in. Nevertheless, it would always be a dream. Love would be a dream.
It is said that there is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment. This turned into obnoxious reality when I wasn't even expecting those winds to flow down my lane. I had a romantic flower sprouting in me since life introduced me to sentiments and emotions. Little did I know, my life's spring was blossoming since a leap, gently ignored every time. But this very time, the Cupid's Angels ran with an arrow in every direction with a self made challenge, to shoot at the right destination. 
For, hard as nails people who admitted that love is a far fetched dream for us, this was a challenge ! Rest is history....

-A Fat Woman


Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does...
