Before You Read

shanaya sequeiraShanaya calls herself a nihilist, because of which people assume she must be pessimistic. She has a tough time believing in the concept of love, and that adds to the image that she is ‘abnormal’. She describes herself as short and chubby and has cellulite on her arms and thighs. She believes in body neutrality, not positivity, because she likes the ugly bits of herself and doesn’t think everything is beautiful or even has to be. She gravitates towards pieces of writing that are graphic and shocking and that don’t make any sense at first glance. This has made her a blahcksheep at home, and everywhere she goes.
