mention of body issues/hate

i am beautiful

on the inside

and yes

i am working

on my flaws

but

my outside

screams

not enough

and thats

enough

motivation

for me

to work

harder

- i am starving myself...

when youve been hella busy and havent had time to post... 😅

anywho-

this is not me seeking for attention, or encouraging this habit. eating disorders are NOT a trend; they are not "cute" or "quirky"; eating disorders are a disease that harm, and take lives.

if you are struggling with such; i love you, sweetie <3

you are strong <3

you are awesome <3

and you are

b e a u t i f u l <3

i hold a very special place in my heart just for you.

never forget that you are loved and cherished JUST the way you are.

now, this quote:

"Today I asked my body what she needed,

Which is a big deal

Considering my journey of

Not Really Asking That Much.

I thought she might need more water.

Or protein.

Or greens.

Or yoga.

Or supplements.

Or movement.

But as I stood in the shower,

Reflecting on her stretch marks,

Her roundness where I would like flatness,

Her softness where I would like firmness,

All those conditioned wishes

That form a bundle of

Never-Quite-Right-Ness,

She whispered very gently,

'Could you just love me like this?' "
