Wanna be more than you're thinking of.
Apr. 28th, 2012 01:25 amThis is a response to (response to? echo of? fist bump of solidarity for?) the article at xoJane called A Timeline of One Girl's Relationship With Her Body.
I have been debating where I should post this, if I should post it at all. I wanted to post it to a different blog, but it felt too much like an admission, mixing the person I am with the person I want to be. At the same time, I didn’t want to lock it away. It has been my experience that we are taught not to share our defeats, only our victories, and that even those closest to us rarely know what’s happening inside of us. What’s happening inside of us is just as important as what’s happening outside of us, even though we often don’t admit it to ourselves. It’s in deference to this thought that, though it’s here under relative anonymity--in that you guys know I’m me, but other people simply stumbling on it may not--I leave this unlocked. So here, in admiration and support of the original post, is another girl’s timeline of her relationship with her body. I hope that this turns into a cacophony of voices and inner thoughts, because it’s in silence that we lose most of ourselves to the world around us.
