I decided to fill in my brows for the first time... And I can see why everyone is obsessed with eyebrows now. *As a side note, I kinda miss blogging. Think I will try to pick it up again sometime soon!

Hating my life in a lot of ways at the moment. However, I am trying to truck through. Cause what else can ya do. *Other than try to work on yourself and embrace whatever feeling is thrown your way. And also just crying in different corners of your house...that helps too.

In Regards to the “Dear Fat People” Video

No one has the right to criticize other people’s bodies. No one has the right to say if a body is “healthy” or “not healthy”. Because it is not your body. You don’t own that body. You don’t know what that body has been through. So please...shut the fuck up. Thanks. :’)

“I look at it and it is long and thin and straight and unnatural. I look at it and I see scalpels and doctor men and scrubs and that cold operating room and I am sad. There’s no warmth behind it - just cold precision. What if my operation doesn’t benefit me? Then I have marred by body with this cold, detached, unloveable scar for no reason at all. I hope I can make it a part of me, turn it into something that shows strength and decisions and bravery - but right now it does not, so it hurts to look at and to feel. But time heals all wounds, and that’s what this will take - time.”

One year since my surgery today. I can’t even imagine myself without my scar any more, and I’ve grown to love it - and it’s come to represent everything I hoped it would.

I don’t think about my scar a whole lot any more (I kind of forget I have it) but there’s been this skin positivity day on here that reminded me of it. I like it a lot.

There are certain people who aren’t meant to fit into your life, no matter how much you want them to.

Go ahead. Be selfish, and put yourself first.

A Tiny Piece of Advice (Mainly for Myself)

I know I've been a negative Nancy for the past bit, but if there is one thing I have learned when it comes to life and being uncertain about its direction...

It’s easy to succumb to pessimism, but it is much more difficult to remain optimistic. Also, if you stay negative - you can’t really be there for the people around you. So, I’m trying to be more bright-eyed or whatever. It’s been hard, but cynicism is a pretty ugly look anyways...so, I am trying to have more of a positive outlook.

You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.

A mysterious fog fell over Calgary last weekend. I thought it was the perfect time to take creepy photos!

I've probably been the worst student so far this semester. There is like no effs given at this point and time. I'm procrastinating on everything I am supposed to get done. Which is great timing because it's not like I am graduating or anything.... AHAHA. Ah. Okay.

[droolydolly]

Also, here is a vlog I made recently about moving and trying to be more healthier! Thought I would just digitally throw up everything I've been doing for the past bit. :'D

Sigh.

Trying to get back into photography after being out of commission for so long. Started using Lightroom for editing - it has been an interesting learning experience.
