Anonymous asked: You should make a FAQ! I'm a new follower and love your blog and I really just want to know more about you and where your work comes from!

Oh man, I’m definitely not cool enough to have one of those!
Seriously though, if you want to know anything just ask.
I can be shit at answering my inbox because I get a lot of questions in a day (loads of which are anon insults!) so it’s a bit overwhelming for me, but I do check and try to answer as often as my self-esteem will allow! 
Plus I don’t mind being asked the same question multiple times and I’d feel a bit like a pompous ass directing someone to my FAQ…
But no judgement on those who have them, it’s just not for me!

So I’m about to leave for Pittsburgh,

because I forgot some things in my flat that I need by tomorrow!
Which means four hours out, get there around midnight, rest for two hours, leave around two, get home at six.
This is NOT going to be fun.

I think that Facebook is the biggest waste of time, because everyone is just presenting such a filtered picture of themselves. You only put up your best pictures. People only check in when they are at the fanciest restaurant in the city. They only keep things up there that are flattering to themselves. I just think it’s like keeping up with the Joneses, but for life. You’re never going to get on top of it. Someone’s always going to have a better job than you, go on better vacations than you, have a better looking wife than you, or whatever it is. So, it’s superficiality on top of superficiality. You never get to see the real parts of people.

This is the EXACT reason I can no longer maintain a facebook. After being away from it for so long….I can’t accept that version of reality or people anymore.

“Aren’t eating disorders beautiful?” (by We the Living Photography)
 Going through my photos from early 2011 I came across this and I was so repulsed I cried.  I cried for myself and for the girl I was, but mostly I cried for the millions of girls (and boys) out in the world buying into the romantic stereotypes of eating disorders, so much so that they’ll develop and suffer from one too.This is what the reality of an eating disorder is. Skelatal features.Sunken eyes rimmed with dark circles.Palid skin with no healthy luster (and in my case incredibly darkened freckles).Receding hair line.It’s not what anyone should want.You should look at this and be as repulsed as I am!
I can’t help but wonder how many models actually look like this under their makeup.Makeup can hide anything, but it doesn’t change the fact that you’re dying underneath and within.I was dying.This is what an eating disorder really looks like, the truth beyond the romanticization.There is nothing beautiful about it.
I wish other girls could see this.You don’t want this.It ISN’T worth it. It will never be worth it.
