Skinny Shaming

Ok, so i’m not trying to get you to pity me, but I felt the need to address this. I’m a size 0-2 (depends on the store), and I weigh less than 100 pounds. I eat what I want, exercise regularly, participate in PE, and my doctors say I am at a healthy weight for my height (i’m barely 5 feet). I constantly get called anorexic behind my back, when in reality I am very healthy. I eat veggies, fruit, protein, all that good stuff. But I also eat cakes, cookies, snickers, candies, ice cream, etc. And no, I do not throw it all up. It’s just the way I am, I was born with this body type. But something I’ve been noticing on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and in real life, is that when people are trying to defend and comfort someone more curvy,  often times we just insult people who are slim. Sometimes that evolves into stereotyping people who are slim to be anorexic, ugly, and just disgusting. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against people with curves. I think everyone is beautiful, but this just pisses me off so much. I mean, I’m starting to feel bad about being slim! What I want everyone reading this to remember is that

not all slim people have an eating disorder

never insult another group of people to defend another

except all body types

there is such a thing as skinny shaming, and it needs to stop

superbass2014: I saw this comment on a YouTube video: ”TOP REASONS WHY BLACK WOMEN ARE SINGLE, NOT ALL FIT THIS DESCRIPTION, BUT TOO DAMN MANY DO, AND PLEASE DON’T TELL A MAN TO CHANGE HIS LIST JUST BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT AGREE, ITS HOW WE FEEL. 1. ATTITUDE 2. DISRESPECTFUL 3. 2 OPINIONATED 4. FAKE… Amen to this response!

I love that moment. When you’re on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading. And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you. You’re focused on that one thing, and that one thing only. You’re content, and everything seems peaceful.

Sometimes…when I’m feeling melancholy and a bit depressed about my current state of loneliness..I wonder what would it be like to be THAT girl.. The girl that the hot guy on Instagram try’s to hit up…the girl that is so confident in herself that when she’s not…people still think she is..the girl...

Traditional Skills To Learn

In a world ran by technology, business, and success, the art of learning traditional skills and homemaking has been lost. I believe we should all go after our dreams, no matter what they are, but going back to our ancestral roots is a great way to practice mindfulness. Working on traditional skills gives you a sense of satisfaction, wellbeing, grounding, and peace. Here is a list of some ways you can reconnect with yourself and the earth : 

Gardening

Cooking from scratch

Canning food

Pottery

Wood carving

Sewing

Baking bread & making cheese

Learn about herbs and make your own medicine

Crochet

Make jam

Learn etiquette

Decorate your home

Write in cursive

Paint

Make candles

Teach & care for children
