[celestialcumings]

Fucking amazing!!! I love this!!!!

[BlissfulPeacock]

So powerful Gretchen!

if somebody has a problem with somebody ELSES size, they should take that up with themselves.

people are fruit. there's no two that are the same, but no matter what it looks like on the outside, if it's rotten on the inside, then it's no good for anyone to eat.

[tkraven]

beautiful, amazing and so right on.

[ElajshaHetfield]

That poem was so amazing.

Just.. Amazing (:

[pattie272007]

POWERFUL.....you put into words what use "big" girls feel everyday. I hate when people use my size to insult me or make me feel less of a person, just because my weight is your problem with me, doesn't mean it is MY problem with me!!!!!

[BunchOfRejects]

i absolutely freaking love everything about this.

i want to say this ALL THE TIME.

[erb5745]

This is incredible! Always watch PLS, never comment (but always enjoy), and I couldn't NOT comment after watching this. Amazing - I can totally relate, and you are just so well spoken. I love watching you!!

[acloutier91]

I just wanted to say that you are such an inspiration! Seriously, I feel like every time I watch one of your videos, you help me feel better about myself. Lots of love Gretchen!

[jk1whitetiger]

That was so beautiful!  Gave me chills <3

[1996Natasha]

That was amazing.

People shouldnt judge people for what you look like or your differences

We are all the same who cares what we look like? Its on the inside which counts :D

You are as inspirtation :D

[omgyoureatard]

wow. amazing poem.

[naughtygayhottie]

wow i love it, i feel the pain written in every word, not just pain but disipointment. not of your self but of others.

your talent is pure.

[LifesSmile]

Wow, spoke from the hurt and spoke to mine.

[SugaNSpice10]

Love it. You put how I feel on a daily basis into a wonderful poem. Thanks for sharing.

[fancy24frenzy]

and that was the moment when I fell in love with you <3

[MelloJel312]

That was incredibly heartfelt and I understood exactly what you meant and went through. You're awesome for putting yourself out there and being who you truly are! Thank you.

[gbyenrmajean]

You're beautiful <3 This poem was amazing<3

[Reluctantwriter7]

This was one of the most beautiful poems Ive heard in a while. You cannot listen this and be unchanged. Thank You Gretchen. Thank you for putting what we feel into beautiful words.

[cloroxcowgirl]

You and your poem are beautiful. I understand every word, believe me. People are ignorant and its so easy to judge based on appearance, almost a knee jerk reaction. People worth knowing won't judge you based on superficial things, they will see you as the beautiful soul you are. Peace

[kally546]

Absolutely amazing.

[Lovingdoubt]

Stunning! Thanks for sharing. <3

[allysmusic14]

you are perhaps the most spectacular woman i have ever met and i haven't even real life met you before. incredible incredible incredible!

[usMIAmm]

[jem79925]

[dingosatemypringles]

Amazing =) I felt every word.

[sybeve]

Thank you Gretchen. Thank you. :)

[LovinTheNileyLoveX1]

:')

This poem just made my day, such a serious inspiration x x

[michellefbb2]

YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you so much. You are wonderful!

[lookn4smitty]

Well done!!! Although, I have to admit that even I, being a plus size woman, still judge others. Not because of their size or their clothes or anything that remotely relates to them. I do it because I am insecure. I don't give them a look, I don't snicker, I don't say a word about them. I just let the toxic spew swirl around in my head. It's something I've been working on for a long time. Bad habits die hard.

[JIovannone]

Favorited!

[fatchicklosingweight]

loved it gretchen....ur amazing as always

[Nicoledaly87]

wow I really like that I feel that way everytime I walk down the street or in stores it's the worst when I'm shopping with my Skinny friends and I got into a store that just has their sizes in it the stares are even worse...I had a smiliar thing happen to me but I didn't just get stares I had this older man walk by me and decide to tell me thinking that I couldn't hear him that I was F***ing Huge it hurts sometimes

[ProjectLifesize]

@Nicoledaly87 It hurts cuz you're human....but let it make you stronger. xoxoxox - gretchen

[TheMilitaryLife]

Awesome Gretchen!! I hear you loud and clear. But let me play devil's advocate for a sec. Do you think that maybe, the person was staring, trying to figure out where your strength and your dignity comes from. That perhaps, maybe? - sizing her own insecurities up to your confidence?

[sweetcharade518]

Beautiful Gretchen! 

[debbieomi]

OH MY GOD, Gretchen! This poem, and you, are SO amazing!!

Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou has always been my favorite poem. I even have it on my channel and made a video reciting it for a poetry tag but this... this has instantly moved right beside it.

May I please add this to my channel? I will give you credit and a link.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting into words what I'm sure so many of us have had swirling in our heads!

[ProjectLifesize]

@debbieomi Sure :) xoxox - Gretchen

[leftyout]

[AphoticOndy]

[Emiazla]

Wow Grethen...that really sums up how I felt all day today. You must be some sort of wizard because I really felt like you wrote exactly how I felt all day! lol

Love you! You're so amazing <3

[AdiarraStormfury]

Amazing!! I never cease to be inspired by you. Thank you for sharing this.

[eagsbaby]

[VolleyballStar1678]

wow. that poem is honestly the most amazing poem i have ever heard. usually i dont like poetry, but i love this one because it has meaning to it and i can relate to it. thank you so much for having the courage to share this!

[guloninae]

Excellent. Thank you for sharing your strength.

[SAPHIREpinup]

this is so amazing!

[greenschmoodle]

(hugs) They are just staring at this bold and beautiful woman who walks with pride because they themselves, in their size, can't. And they are envious of what you have. And hopefully, one day they will see themselves as beautiful and start looking ahead and not at others.

You are awesome, my dear. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.

[kaleeface]

I'm sorry this happened to you. People are ignorant. You are strong and beautiful don't let anyone let you think other wise.

[NannyDiaries23]

youre a beautiful woman, who speaks with such eloquence :)

[yeronmyradar]

Oh. My. God. Your poem was so amazing. Thank you for sharing that! Do you mind if I type that out and put it on my Facebook? I'll give you credit of course =). You should write more poems, you're very very good at it.

[ProjectLifesize]

@yeronmyradar Thank you :) Of course <3 - xoxox Gretchen

[Domingo0022IWAY]
