Mom Jeans & FUPA

Mom Jeans & FUPA

The first time someone commented on my photo and said “FUPA!” I had to google what it meant. ⁣

Fat. Upper. P*ssy. Area. ⁣

Now, quick history - this wasn’t a new shame for me. I had targeted hate towards my body for my lower stomach area for so long that I actually don’t recall when it began. ⁣

But now, it had a name. ⁣
Because now, they gave it name. ⁣

This intimate fear and shame, they named it. ⁣

And threw it back at me. ⁣

Another NORMAL thing that a woman can experience, weaponized against her. ⁣

I had to make a choice. ⁣

Will this word define me? No. ⁣
Will this word change me? No. ⁣

So why give it any power over me? ⁣

And on with life we go. ⁣
