"Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon (current obsession)
So today, was basic on most accounts of days have been. Something seemed to be in the air though a new breath of life and freedom. I dont know why but it was like everyone had been breathing the same dreary air and the rain from the past few days washed away all of those problems. I am still sick so that problem is still alive and kicking but most of any other problems have gone away. I have decided to stop complaining about my minimalistic and materialistic problems and focus on ones that really matter. Like the problems in the Congo and Uganda. There is a girl who i know from softball and middle school named Lauren, who interned with Invisibile Children for 5 months and she is now going off to ireland to pick non pesticide ecologically sound food for the next few months. She is a talented and golden hearted girl she's been giving herself to our world for some time now and i think it's time we all take a chapter from Lauren's book'o'life. (that's my shout out to you lauren if your reading)
Anyways, today went pretty good classes were fine my euro class is more of like a "copy the slide" class but it was fun because me and john were texting about white jacket which is funny and awkward because he was like three seats away. By the way i dont expect anyone to know what i was talking about right there that's more for my own hillarity to laugh at.
Currently listening: Foxy by Jimi H.
The rest of the day went smoothly girly talks with Tawnee about how American women are actually the ones putting pressure on themselves about weight and how our teens and pre-teen girls are now expecting themselves to stay thin for their whole lives because they think that's all men want. When in fact, I have met a few guys who actually dont like Stick-figure girls which is nice because I'm not one of those types of girls however our society prizes a slender look and even makes it the norm. Tawnee told me about this poster she saw that said the average model is 5 feet 11 inches and weighs 115 lbs, and the average american is 5 feet 4 inches and weighs 140 pounds. I laughed because I don't see the similarity in the two so I dont see why they are being compared. I guesss i can go off on my rampage about how much i hate stereotypes and aspirations that men and women put on looks and beauty.... so here it goes.
Women think men want this slender woman, but at the same time men also want full breasts and full booties this in itself is a contradiction.
Men think that women should be strong but not stronger then them. Which is fine and I nearly agree with that... except for when a woman is being attacked in an alley and can't lift her arm to punch the guy in the face.
Women think that Hollywood actress' and models actually lose weight by working out and eating right... the truth is they go on fasts and they have money to hire personal trainers who go to their houses to get them moving. I'm sure if everyone in america made 10 million dollars everytime they finished a big project at work they'd be skinny too.
Men set standards that only airbrushing and photoshop can reach.
Women can sometimes be led to think that no airbrushing or photo shop is used on a picture but the truth is every picture goes through airbrush and photoshop even those paparazzi photos.
End of Rant.
I don't want to bore people. Anyways I've decided that I'm health I look nice and now I just need to focus on me. Not much else to it. Have a good day I love you all <3 natashacp
p.s. you can sit beside me when the world comes down.

I agree about the expectations people have for themselves when they think that they don't have to body to be fabulous. I think fabulosity is generated from confidence and self-esteem. As long as someone feels comfortable being themselves, it doesn't matter if he or she is a size 16 or a 6. Women especially need to just stop worrying about how guys judge them.
ReplyDeleteIf any guy thinks that I need to lose weight to be with them then that's not a relationship that I'd be willing to have. If a guy truly does love me, he would not give a damn about what I wear or how I look. I'd like to lose a few pounds to be healthier, but I would never be an anorexic for any man. I refuse to let them govern my life.
