Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
Well, what is this shit? Not letting you back in your own country. Like your marriage doesn’t count.
Choices have consequences.
If I’d stayed at that boring little place that didn’t have a bookstore within a 30 mile radius and that I felt didn’t accept me (because I wasn’t mature enough to be in college, probably), I would be graduating right now.
Summer class pre-session starts tomorrow.
My Sociology textbook is $104 used, and I need it by next week!
Nooooo I’m broke, don’t do this to me….
There are some people I know who just post the most negative stuff I’ve seen in my life.
Like, they’re doing something fun or awesome or noteworthy, but all they can say is that it wasn’t up to par with expectations.
Some people need a reality check.
Some people (me) need to stop projecting.
And judging.
God.
1. Get naked and take a good long look at your body. Trace your stretch marks, feel your hip bones poking out, place your hand over your tummy and take a fistful of yourself in. Appreciate your scars and pimples, your uneven,large,or nonexistent breasts. Take pride in your un/shaven, un/cut, fantastically odd private bits. Hold up a mirror to yourself and study your body. Love it.
2. Be Ugly, reclaim words that are used to put you down and shut you up and scream right back at these fascist beauty standard reinforcing scumbags. Give them the finger and tell them to kiss your fat/skinny/somewhere in between ass ‘cause you ain’t got time to waste with their body hating bullshit. and remember, you don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Validate yourself by accepting yourself.
3. Wear clothes that don’t fit, that are too big or too small and show all your “problem areas” that cosmo insists you hide and walk down the street like the fucking fabulous queen you are. Sashay the hate away.
4. Do what YOU want with YOUR body. Shave or don’t, wear makeup or don’t, whatever choice you make is yours to make, and anyone who shames you for your decision can keep it moving. This also means respecting the choices of others, even if they differ from your own.
5. Surround yourself with loving and supportive people. Rid of the toxic bullshit in your life if possible, and immerse yourself in a community that embraces body positivity and diversity.

An American writer from the Great Plains
I was reading an article on Thought Catalog (http://thoughtcatalog.com/… it’s pretty awesome), and I’m always curious as to what the writers put in their little one line to one paragraph bios.
This one guy simply said he was “An American writer from the Great Plains.” I love how that sounds. LOVE it. Because he not only made the Midwest sound cool by using Geographical terminology rather than societal and social, but… gaaahhh, there’s just a RING to that!
Also… that describes exactly what I am.
Except for the fact that I’m still unpublished, but we can’t have everything.
Going to start a blog for just my writing.
I don’t feel like putting it on this one, what with all my word vomit. It would seem to discredit the writing.
My writing is not word vomit, and I would like people to read it as such. I also need to get it out into the world in any and all ways possible.
I’ll link that blog to this one when I get it going.
Sick Sad World: What is Social Anxiety Disorder? →
I’m really horrible about self-diagnosing….
Social anxiety is the fear of social situations and the interaction with other people that can automatically bring on feelings of self-consciousness, judgment, evaluation, and inferiority.
Put another way, social anxiety is the fear and anxiety of being…
Summer is here!
And I only have one final next week!
Time to cut back on stress at crank up the, well, everything else.
Definitely going to write a lot this summer. And sleep. And try to feed my mind in any and all ways possible.
My mind is hungry.
Cookie?
