that is so crazy that you say that about the picture because that is where i got the idea from. i was actually going to do a red rose but the yellow one turned out so much better and the color yellow remind mew of hope and in a picture that looks like all is dead its good to find a little hope.

she is saying she is confused.
she is saying she wants to be know but is scared to show her true colors...

hey

thanks for commenting on my poetry.

i really like this body image video. i think its really important to show that men also have an idealized and unrealistic body image to live up to. sometimes i think that looking and acting like a "real man" is so much harder than acting and looking like a "real woman." the media always seems to see body image as a women's issue, but that isn't always the case.

isn't it so strange that we're our own worse critics when it comes to our bodies, especially? we're worried about how our body looks which steams from our ideas of how other people perceive our body. yet, no one ever really notices that our love handles our out of control, or any other problems we seem to criticize ourselves for.

really insightful

The truth is we all suffer from some sort of body image issue. We can all try to hide it, but in the end it gets to the best of us. Those who say they think their body is perfect, it's not true. We either think we are too fat, too short, to thin, to tall, our hair is too long or too short or not the right color. If we have straight hair we want curly hair... in the end we have to accept who we are.

I want to point out that those stick models you refer to, have a negative body image too. Most of them are only that thin because they have been constantly told that they aren't pretty enough. They all are insecure, and that's why they starve themselves because they are so insecure and have such a negative body immage and care so much about what people think. So I try to look at it that way. I speak from experiance, they are miserable people. It isn't something to aspire to, because the only result is more misery and more insecurity over every little percieved flaw that they have. I applaud you for making an effort to just not care.

I really like this video. Very honest and relevant to the body image trap society has found itself in today.

Tabula Rasa Realized

Sep 14, 2008

I know that I have been saying for a good long time now that I was going to find a way to get my life on track once and for all. I have been saying it for so long that I even began to doubt it myself. The people at work came to believe that I was never going to leave and that I would be next in line to become manager. Over my dead body, don't get me wrong, the owners are great guys, but hell no. Well, last week my prayers were finally answered, through the guidance of an old friend from California, and also from the example of a QL friend who I have unfortunately not kept in touch with. Apparently there is something to this thing called prayer after all. Anyway, last week I finally got word on whether or not I would be accepted into the Job Corps program. Yes. I am on the verge of tears because I leave this Tuesday. I will be leaving behind everything and everyone I know for the next 2 years. I will have limited internet access and may or may not be able to keep up to date on QL. For the next 2 years I will be housed, fed, and trained by the government. If all goes as I have prayed for, I will be able to make it through the 2 years and graduate as a Pharmacy Tech. Should I succeed I will have moved my immediate branch of the family from military to medical. My mom is an RN, my sister does clerical at a doctor's office at the moment while waiting to be moved up to Medical Billing and Coding, and I will be a Pharmacy Tech. This is my chance to make something of myself and I am not going to take it for granted. Job Corps, hopefully, my clean slate realized. Carpe Diem, Carpe Nocturnum, Capre Jugulum.
