About Me: Tiana Amazon

Let's talk a little more about me! I mean after all... this is my blog! ;)

My name is Tiana, and my moniker or stage name is "Tiana Amazon". I am a 6ft tall (1.83m) self-proclaimed Princess, an Amateur Singer, a Body Positive Advocate, lover of all things involving Cheese, and an expert in traveling while Fat. I am an empath, a sensitive soul, a gentle giant, and I cry when I get frustrated. I love laughing, and learning random facts, and sharing said random facts. Like did you know, that your foot [most humans] is actually the same length as your forearm [from wrist to elbow]. Yeah! Crazy, right? You're welcome! I'm super tall, supersized, and exceptionally confident. I am happy and fat, with a big heart and an even bigger behind. I love writing, and I'd love to share my adventures with you. I won't sit here and pretend that it's all going to be rainbows and butterflies. But I will promise to always write from my heart.

After 4 years of being in a long term relationship, with who I thought was the love of my life, I did have to remind myself of just how great I am by myself. Through heartache and solitude, did I find the strength and courage to be "me" again. I didn't realize I had stopped doing things that made my soul happy. I stopped pursuing singing. I mean I lived in Las Vegas, I had opportunities in my backyard.. and I did nothing with it! I stopped getting tattoos, for me that was super therapeutic. I stopped writing. I spent so much time worrying about what could be the downfalls of my relationship that I began to doubt just how wonderful I was. I was oblivious to what I could offer to someone else, let alone myself.

Now at just over 7 months of being officially single, is my voice renewed and ready to share with the world. It hasn't been easy. I've been tried again and again. I've been hurt again, taken for a fool, reminded that dating can be a chore. Man, have things changed. I'm used to dating older, and now youngins' are trying to holler at me, and I just realized that I'm getting old. I'm 35 and younger people say things like "priv", and "lit", and they don't say things like "holler at me". I'm too old for "snap" and too young to be a "cougar". And I have no idea what I want in a partner, I thought I did, maybe I do. I feel like I'm sort of looking, but not looking, but I'm good by myself. And that's what I want. To be good. By. Myself.

Yes I am tall and fat. And sometimes (more times than I'd like) people have things to say about my weight. Sometimes they take pictures, and look at me funny, or flat out insult me. And being a big woman is just a part of me, not all of me. And I refuse to let anyone's opinion of my body, change how I feel about myself. So yes, I may wear revealing clothing, visible belly lines all day, and I'm showing off my big ol' arms. It's not a facade. I love me. And while I hope you'll love me too, I am who am. I am always learning, always growing, a work of art, and a work in progress. I am confident enough to know my strengths, and my value. And human enough to see my weaknesses and flaws. I have anxiety, and worry just like many others do. I am perfectly imperfect, and imperfectly perfect. I hope that I can share not only my adventures with you, but I hope I can bring you light, and positive energy, and remind you that your story, just like mine, can still be written.

xoxo,

Tiana
