Call To Action

tw// eating disorders

I don't normally talk about this but I kind of wanted to address it because I know it doesn't just happen to a few people.. during the time I was at my worst (regarding my ED), people would tell me that I 'looked amazing' and that I 'looked really healthy' when that was anything but the case. I wasn't eating and if I did eat anything it wouldn't stay down.

Telling someone they look good just because they lost weight isn't always a kind thing to say. In fact, people telling me that made my mental health and, by extension, my ED worse. I thought that if I looked good to other people then I would be happy. That was not by any means the case and I ended up being far more unhappy because of it.

The worst part is that it still affects me now. Every time I eat I feel guilty and sick. I feel like I'm going to throw up and if I'm over a certain weight I try to lose weight until I'm below it.

Eating disorders aren't beautiful. They shouldn't be romanticized. It's not something to show off or make fun of/ joke about. They aren't easy to recover from and if you do recover, it's easy to fall back into them. That said, never shame someone for having an ED. That can make it worse as well.

Basically, go by the rule 'if they didn't choose it when getting ready for the day, don't comment on it' (which is kind of a mouthful but whatever). People chose their hair, makeup, clothes, etc. Not their bodies. I hope that makes sense lol but yeah..

an explanation is not owed

i feel like mikey doesn’t get enough credit in general, but have you SEEN the bassline for the bridge of the sharpest lives??

If I were rich here’s what I’d do with my free time okay Mermaid pranks Let me explain. So, I’d get one of those super fancy mermaid tails, like those sick as hell silicone ones that has the super long thick tail that uses like, toe pullies and stuff to make the fins move in cool and impossible ways. like this

And I would go all fucking out on this fit okay. We’re talking diving lessons until I can hold my breath for 7 minutes and go deep as fuck. Long hair, starfish, scales up to my tits, those funky contacts that make it so you can see under water, all of it- everything I could to make myself look as “thing of the deep but hot” as possible.  Then, I’d go get some shiny valuable rocks. Pearls, Uncut gems, like super fuck’n nice ones like diamonds and shit, and ofc some gold coins. Then I’d dawn my mermaid fit and hit public waterways. Rivers, beys, lakes, places where people are around and might be swimming, but where I’m not gonna die via boat propeller, and not super crowded areas where a lot of people are swimming.  Then I just prank people by poking my head out of the water and surprising them, then I motion them closer and reach into my hair or satchel or something and give them a fucking emerald, smiling all big the whole time then I just- swim the fuck away.  What the fuck they  gonna do now!? Keep it as a fun memory of that time a fuck’n mermaid larper gave them a shiny rock? Never know it’s actually valuable? Or do they take it to a jeweler and find out it’s real? How the fuck are they gonna explain that. They gonna tell the jeweler a fuck’n mermaid gave it to them?! I think the fuck not.  Gonna pop up at the peir and smile at people and give gold coins to whoever stops. Kids are gonna freak. Put a little wonder back in the world. Flirt with pretty girls. Swim down rivers, pop up and surprise some old lady sitting by the water and give her an uncut diamond then swim away without a word. 

Get a reputation as the weird lesbian mermaid who gives out precious gems and never speaks then suddenly stop without warning for like three years to give people time to forget me then do it all again. 

isn’t this true tho

I feel like things would go a lot better if everyone would bear in mind that the way people act on Tumblr is not necessarily indicative of the way they act in real life.
