i am so tired of that stupid quote

tulletulle:

i didn’t eat for 3 days so i could be beautiful

or whatever the fuck it is

from skins

and i hate that people take it seriously

oh woe, poor emaciated waifish child in overpriced vintage clothes and floral shoes, look at me, i starve for (insert bullshit reason here)

you! you are beautiful! you are your own fucking person! you have power and strength and the ability to do whatever the fuck you want if you just go out and fucking do it

there is no excuse! the only thing to be scared of is not measuring up to who you want to be.

you know what bums me out? when girls my age don’t know the name of one feminst author, or one poet, or one girl band, or the founder of any cause. why. why is this happening. how can i change it, and how soon.

im so restless about these things

and i’m angry. fuck yes i am angry. i have every reason to be.

this is all over the place, because there is too much to write too fast and it’s too late so i’m just blurting out random strings of thought and cutting them off before they knit themselves into big woolen sweaters of thought

yes. i hate this idea of eating disorders as an aesthetic and i’m so disturbed by all these photos floating around on tumblr of ridiculously thin teenage girls’ spines or whatever. STARVING is not cool or a style or whatever, it’s in fact the product of a society and culture that is overflooded with misogyny and what a shame that people who say they have an ED because of their teen angst use their teen angst to harm themselves rather than call out the patriarchy for making them WANT to harm themselves.

i mean, i am TOTALLY for community for people with EDs if it’s about recovery. but when it’s this NICHE and this AESTHETIC that’s supposed to be cute or whatever? if you have teen angst or you are angry, do something with it, create things and don’t harm yourself. as belle said,

you! you are beautiful! you are your own fucking person! you have power and strength and the ability to do whatever the fuck you want if you just go out and fucking do it
