"An Invitation to Let Go" by Caroline Rothstein

Are there not layers of childhood fantasy lush enough to abolish any marauding thought of doubt, relentlessly pushing its way into your skull,...

Anonymous asked: I ask about fat acceptance because of your poem Fat(which I totally love and helped me a lot when I was living in relapse after years of recovery, and still helps). I think it's part of the process of recovery, especially in the beginning, to deny ones fatness, because our ED's (and society) tell us so much shit about how bad being fat is. But I also think, later, when one is capable, to...

Fear is the final frontier.
We are a month past December 21, 2012 - the Winter Solstice, the long awaited date of the Mayan Prophesy, the day many feared some negatively earth-shattering apocalypse, while others embraced an opportunity whereby a new earth, a new energy, a new hope would shift our world as we knew it into something beautiful, free, and profound. Here on the other side, I see myself and my loved ones...

warsan is elsewhere.: shame →
warsanshire: I don’t know when I first realised that I could eat whatever I want and then vomit it out, the knowledge was stunning and soon everyone loved me more; my mother, my friends, the men in the streets. Beauty is a strange place, a road sign in the distance that you never actually reach. The term… Just read this. It speaks for itself. So loudly, so poignantly, so necessarily.
