I'm way too clumsy but I came up with this name because I've got a small build and I'm pretty short. Yes it can be counted as a blessing but at the end of the day every woman will nitpick and find some flaw or the other no matter how perfect she is. I've been tiny for most of my life so far and even though some people say its a good thing, I've somehow always felt uncomfortable in my body especially when I started high school. Back then all the girls I knew were growing and developing curves while I still looked like a stick with short hair AND people mistook me for a boy at times.
I like to liken my self-confidence back then to a rocket that pummeled into the ground, burst into flames, and the ashes were then stepped on for fun till they disintegrated.
Fortunately things got better through middle school. I started to get more curves, learnt to dress myself, embrace myself for who I am and I started to gain my confidence again. Now I'm learning more everyday to love myself even with my flaws.
It does get tough sometimes, just when people say I look too skinny or sick. The thing is I'm not...I eat (lots! I love food! Especially snacks, chocolate and chips), I exercise to be fit and I don't have any issues with my body.
Now I'm perfectly happy and embracing myself- thus the PetiteNinjaWarrior name.
