Unapologetic Lavinia Stan: But I’m not looking to be fixed. I want to be loved and liked and desired not because of my size, not despite my size, but because I’m ME. My character, my choices, my words. Each time someone I care about shows they don’t care about me that same way, it hurts. It hurts more than I can easily express. Unapologetic Lavinia Stan: So this ship, this community, is important to me. It’s reassurance that better things are possible for me, and better relationships, and even real, abiding, passionate love. Not because of my size, not despite my size, but because I’m me.
