now i’m lying here on the couch about to watch another episode of absolute trash because i can’t be bothered to get up. GREAT

and i’ll make sure i don’t do one without the other. I WILL TAKE THIS ANCIENT WEAVE OFF MY HEAD.

fml.

well done you! :D

Thank you!!!

So it’s not even June yet and I have broken 2 of my rules for summer already - FUCKING WIN. 

Rule 1: KEEP LEGS COVERED AT ALL TIMES. NO ONE NEEDS TO SEE THAT

Rule 2: KEEP THEM BINGO WINGS COVERED. IF YOU DON’T PEOPLE WILL RIDICULE YOU AND THE WHOLE WORLD WILL END

For years I have adhered to these rules that society set me and I never questioned. Ever since I was able to understand that being fat is unacceptable, undesirable and fucking ugly I’ve seen it as my duty to leave all the fun fashion, sundresses and t-shirts to the skinny girls and don my cardigans and countless pairs of tights, year after year. 

Well, no more tumblr. NO FUCKING MORE. On Tuesday I walked down to the park with my short shirt dress on, bare legged and bare armed with my sick as sunglasses on and the picnic of kings on my back and no fucks were given. I wasn’t ashamed and, more importantly, I felt COMFORTABLE. It was glorious. I didn’t (and continue not to) care about what anyone thought of my thunder thighs or my massive arms. All I cared about was how liberated I felt and have continued to do so for this whole week. 

So, my fat sisters, I suggest you do the same. Feel the wind on your body rather than the heat of the imaginary eyes that watch you and even if they are watching you, fuck ‘em. You’re fat and fabulous, girl. Don’t let anyone take that away from you. 

best day ever though

I know that misogyny exists in all forms everywhere in our day to day lives but that hasn’t made it any easier for me to accept it. Plus, anyway, why should I? 

Well last week I was minding my own business doing my own thing when my friend started telling me about her boyfriend and how much of a complete wanker he is but in a way that said “its ok because i really love him and i know he loves me”. now, i’ve had my friends talk to me about their shit significant others before so it wasn’t necessarily this that phased me. it was that she told me he NEVER respects a single thing she says or does. he refuses to acknowledge her life before he entered into it, not allowing her to even mention previous ex’s in passing when it’s relevant to the conversation. he even called her silly for wanting to wake up with him today, her birthday. at first i was like hmm maybe he’s just a shit boyfriend but then i started to notice something myself. he often makes comments like:

• i hate when women make music. they just fuck up
• you women have no sense of logic
• i don’t think women are funny. they try to be but it just comes off stupid
• no woman has ever come up with anything i’m interested in hearing about 

this literally has been INFURIATING me to NO end. the worst thing is i used to really count him as my friend. we’d hang out. have a laugh, chat all the time and help each other out. i genuinely felt really close to him for a time and now i just want to avoid him and scream. in my mind all i think is WHERE DID THIS COME FROM!? WHY IS HE SAYING THIS?! HAS HE ALWAYS FELT THIS WAY!? I don’t know how to handle this AT ALL. I’ve tried sitting him down and explaining that what he’s saying is fucking WRONG and completely insulting to every woman, everywhere including his sister and mother but it means nothing. 

moreover, how do i even begin to get my friend into the mindset that this man is not the kind of person she wants to be with?! i’ve been really frank with her about the whole situation and letting her know what i think but she seems COMPLETELY brainwashed.

I suppose I just want to rant but I’m also posting this for some advice I guess. I don’t want to lose him as a friend because before all this he was THE LOVELIEST guy but now it’s all changed and I don’t feel like I can be around him. 

What to do, what to do?
