Whales or Mermaid?

转载：

A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"

The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:

"Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.

Mermaids do not exist.

But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish? 

They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
 

Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
 

And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale.

At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.

We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn't enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
 

We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
 

Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: "How amazing am I ?! "

初看这照片就喜欢，可能是因为看见了自己的影子。我不是一个标致 的女生，也不爱打扮，也许就是人们口中懒惰的女生。从小，脸上的痘痘、粗硬的发质、矮小易胖的体质多是成为他人口中的话题，时至今日仍有人在意这些，我也听得麻木了。

为什么身材一定要纤瘦才叫漂亮？为什么一定要玲珑有致才让人注目？为什么女孩子一定得长发离子烫才是美丽？为什么不上美容院洗脸就不正常？为什么出门不化妆就没礼貌？为什么一定要把自己装成淑女才叫人喜欢？为什么一定要达到你们定下的指标为准则？为什么。。。为什么。。。 

也许有多女生可以，也很高兴的去做这些那些，因为她们是打从心里就喜欢做的。但，我当不了，也不想变美人鱼。我只想当一只健康快乐、自在生活的鲸鱼，那是很棒的事情，只是真正能懂的人，不多。。。
