#i'm the girl

[budugu]

Every single day a girl has a fight with her mom is a day her heart breaks a little bit and wants to hug her mom and make the sadness go away but the fight is with mom so she can't hug her.

“This is the way the world is. You know I’m right. So you get dressed and you go home and think about how I’m right, and then you see if you still want to take that necklace off.” Her touch softens as she stretches her fingers across my cheek. “You have to accept this. You know you do. It’s their world. There’s nothing you can do about it. But with me, and with Matthew, you can have everything you’ve ever wanted within it. That’s real power, Georgia. And it’s better than any dream.”

Fat Girl with an Eating Disorder

I’m the girl that is visibly fat, but struggles with an eating disorder. No I don’t say this to get attention when I'm mid size, or because I feel fat but not actually. I say that because its the truth. 

I’m the girl that's over 200 pounds that struggles with weight in every sense. I restrict some days, binge horribly the next.

I’m the girl that always feels invalid because I'm so big that it means I can’t be anorexic because you can’t see my bones.

I’m the girl that all through school openly spoke about restricting and calorie counting, but no one worried about me because they new I was fat and needed to lose the weight.

I’m the girl that has damaged teeth, and dried out stingy hair that I lose in clumps due to improper nutrition. 

I’m the girl that has brittle nails and bad skin. 

I’m the girl that developed a heart condition in 9th grade and was told how mysterious it was to have. Only to find out later it was due to improper nutrition. I was undiagnosed because a fat girl can’t have an eating disorder. 

I’m the girl that covers mirrors so she doesn't have to see her body in it. 

I’m the girl that has cried herself to sleep because she thinks no-one will love her because of her body.

I’m the girl that never got into a relationship because it meant they would touch and feel my disgusting body.

I’m the girl that no one noticed was struggling.

I’m the girl no one noticed at all.

I’m the girl that is now 24 years old with a damaged, dying body, never been touched, or loved by another and still continues to want nothing more then to be skinny.

"It's their world. And there's nothing we can do."

She's quiet.

And then:

"One day it's gonna stop turning for them."

There's a chasm between knowing something and saying it out loud, and I've lived in the silence of myself for so long.  Not because I'm ashamed--that part is over--but because that piece of me felt like it was for the future, like only the best of me could be ahead of me.

as a child there's nothing cooler than a kid who gets subjected to evil experiments and gains special abilities. it's even cooler if these abilities also cause unfathomable suffering to use/against others. children love stories like this.

i love the olympics. no need to get too invested in any one event or sport. i learn just enough about each to go "oooh!" when it looks like it goes good or "ooooh..." when it looks like it goes bad. i graze on them all at my leisure. it's like sports tapas.

hypothetical scenario for you all: the real king arthur returns. you meet him and you welcome him into your home. what is the first thing you do with him? keep in mind, this is a man from the 500s (he died in 542), and you are from the 21st century (2024).

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

✨💫Quick WIP of @kianamaiart 's lil magical girl character! I literally love her design sm (her monotone and "I'm done with life" expressions are my favorite shdgjshaksjsj) ⭐️

i don't think people really understand what's happening in gaza. with each passing day that sees more and more palestinians dead, it's becoming easier and easier for those in the west to perceive them as nothing more than a statistic. they might engage w the occasional palestine post, sure, but it's just as easy to scroll right past that moments later w no real outrage for the genocide retained.

it's vital to stay reminded that palestinians who are with us today won't be with us tomorrow. it's happening every second of every minute of every hour, and it's relentless. somewhere in gaza a little girl is losing her mother, a little boy is watching his siblings bleed to death, elderly people are infirm with starvation and illness, palestinian women and girls are being sexually assaulted and kept in cages, fathers are leaving tents to find food for their families and not coming back. this is all happening right now, and it's a direct result of the west's complacency. it's a direct result of their not seeing arabs as people worth saving.

it might be hard to compute as a westerner, but this is real. don't let your privilege blind you to your humanity.
