Dog Appreciation Post
This dog is my world. She’s the best friend and companion I could have ever asked for. They say I rescued her, but sometimes I feel like it’s the other way around. <3

Lost Generation - A pessimistic poem that when read backwards, becomes optimistic.
I’m a part of Lost Generation
and I refuse to believe that
I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy”
So in thirty years I’ll tell my children
They are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priority straight because
Work
Is more important than
Family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stay together
But this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
Thirty years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope
And all of this will come true unless we reverse it.

Social anxiety isn’t cool.
OCD isn’t cool.
Bipolar disorder isn’t cool.
Depression isn’t cool.
Cutting isn’t cool.
Phobias aren’t cool.
Trauma isn’t cool.
Sleep disorders aren’t cool.
Eating disorders aren’t cool.
They’re real things, they’re scary, and pretending you have them is just fucking obnoxious and an insult.
It irritates me when people confuse having anxiety, and having an anxiety disorder. It is normal to have anxiety about things in life. Everybody has some amount of anxiety. When that anxiety starts to interfere with your daily life and activities, and controls your every thought and move, that is called an anxiety disorder. Same goes for a phobia. If you think spiders are gross, that’s not a phobia. A phobia is “a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational”. That is something that has taken me 5+ years to control/overcome and it’s generally not something I like to share with the entire world. So, when I see posts on facebook etc. about your psychological issues, it is kind of off putting. It is great to feel comfortable with yourself and recognize your illnesses, but it has been my experience that the people who have the real problems and the people who struggle don’t hang it all out for the world to see. Because I always remember that in general, “Those who talk don’t know, and those who know don’t talk”

2 years ago, I weighed 162 pounds. Today I weigh 126.
I didn’t lose the weight by hating myself down to a size 4. Not through dieting, not through crazy amounts of exercise, not through calorie counting, or purging.
I lost 35 pounds by learning to love and take care of my body. I realized that part of loving myself is giving my body what it needs. I changed my diet to include mostly plants, I cut out soda and fought hard against my addiction to sugary/fatty foods. I began to see food as fuel and to use it as such. I also made sure my body was in motion for at least 1 hour everyday, and these days I am even working on becoming physically stronger. I knew that my old eating/exercise habits would not suit me as I began to age. I knew that I wasn’t treating my body well.
When I truly began to love it, it took a new shape. I loved my old shape. I love my new shape. I love it all because I love me! x)
WOW PEOPLE. I am failing to see how this is “problematic”. The point of the post is that, SHE CHANGED BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO. Not because society and the media tell her to look a certain way, not because she was ashamed of her “fat”, but because that was what she needed to do feel healthy! There’s nothing wrong with being like hey, I feel like shit when I don’t exercise and eat too much ice cream, so I think I’m going to make an effort to exercise and eat less ice cream. No where in this post was did she say anything remotely close to “fat shaming” because she is not talking about anybody elses body but HER OWN. So shut up.
