Sometimes loving and taking care of your body means eating fruits and veggies, sometimes it means eating pizza and cake.
Sometimes it means going for a walk, and sometimes it means lying on the couch, or both, or neither.
No really.
YES. YES. YES.

what you said was: "i don't respect women who don't respect themselves"
what you meant was: "i and society as a whole hold women up to ridiculous respectability standards directly relating to the "purity" of said women while hypersexualizing them at the same time and if you are a woman and don't fit my awkward monolith of criteria then i refuse to acknowledge your humanity"
what i heard was: "hi i'm a misogynist piece of shit, please punch me in my face"

Taking A Break
I woke up this morning feeling pretty severely depressed. I was fine last night and have been fine for weeks. I’m not sure what happened. All I know is that I feel numb and empty and debilitated and insecure and awful and all the negative thoughts I had become so good at challenging have come back. Maybe it’s the stress of upcoming finals. Maybe it’s because I feel invisible and...

tides-of-a-freespirit asked: Hi Daniell, thank you so much for having such an influential blog that helps people heal. I struggle with acceptance of my thin body. I'll have strangers telling me I should "go home and get something to eat". I eat more than the average person--and in fact, I'm always worried about how I should eat even more than I'm already eating. It's really frustrating cause I...
