if you follow the paintbrush with your eyes while not moving your head, it forces you to use emdr which is a therapeutic technique to calm anxiety/panic. watching fish swim causes the same effect.

Bottled History by Commoner

“Ray Gascoigne has spent a lifetime at sea as a shipwright and sea merchant. His memories and love for ships are made physical through miniatures he constructs with extreme care within old whisky bottles. Over the past 60 years he has built hundreds of replicas of ships from the past and present of maritime legend. Many were built at sea, in the lonely cabin hours of night, and Ray (now 85) continues his craft on land today” (watch video).

“As time goes on, you’ll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn’t, doesn’t. Time solves most things. And what time can’t solve, you have to solve yourself.”

Wow. This actually just happened.

Okay, anon, here you go. This picture right here? Yeah, that’s my body. I kinda have a pooch. I’m bloated from eating, and I am indeed 30lbs heavier than I was two years ago.

Am I fat? Well, I have fat. I’m actually about 19% body fat believe it or not (athletic build, by the way). Am I unhealthy? Absolutely not. I eat for survival, I eat for nutrition, and I eat for pleasure. That makes me a shitload healthier than I ever thought I would be.

SO WHAT if I have trouble losing weight. SO WHAT if my body has fat, and my body is not the “ideal female body” because I don’t have a flat stomach or a six pack. It’s my body and I fucking love it.

I’m sorry that you are so sick, that you need to tell a girl to go return to her eating disorder just because YOU don’t like the way SHE looks. I’m sorry that you see me as fat an unhealthy, and I really hope you find a therapist that will be able to help you with your own insecurities so that you don’t take them out on everyone else.

I hope you find help, and I hope one day you realize how disgusting your words are.

Oh, and by the way, I could kick your ass.

Why doesn’t this have more notes?

This girl is one bad ass recovery warrior. That anon is nothing but a cruel, very unhappy person. I LOVE THIS.

i don’t understand, she looks perfect askldhq03w8raeihofkjlsc

Ahh this is clever.

Perfect timing. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.

Yes ohmigod

Admin: Kinda off-topic, but I think this is something that many of us need to see right now.
