I am playing me

I'm Kat. I'm 21, a proud MoHo, international relations major, from TX, currently studying in Edinburgh. I have an immense love for the BBC and I combat insanity through singing, dance and books. I've recently taken up archery and it's beginning to take over my life.

I find it really strange that when you’re in a long distance friendship or relationship all you want to do is see that person and being around them is the biggest most wonderful deal but there are people who interact with them all the time, on the street and in the classroom and in the shops and it always makes me jealous because you want to be with this person so much and for everyone else they’re nothing special but for you they’re everything special

As I described it earlier to someone else, I feel as though I am caught between “maybe I could lose a little weight in a healthy way” and “we do not negotiate with terrorists.”

PSA: Coming out day

A few of these have been making the rounds on tumblr, but I haven’t seen one that says this yet:

You don’t have to come out

You don’t have to feel pressured to come out

Being in the closet is not shameful

It’s about protecting yourself

If coming out will make you exposed to discrimination, rejection, harassment or violence, you are perfectly justified in staying closeted

If coming out day makes you feel like being closeted makes you a lesser person, don’t

It’s about survival and self-preservation

And you are awesome and fabulous no matter how few or how many people in your life know about your identity

And today I don’t hate myself. Not to say that I love or even like myself all the time. I just don’t hate myself. There are days when I’m completely in love with every inch of myself, inside and out. Mostly I’m just content and comfortable in my body. I have good days and bad days, but my feelings don’t always turn into actions like they used to. I don’t abuse my body anymore.

[TW: abuse] What I remember most about emotional abuse is that it’s like being put in a box. How you end up in there is the biggest trick – I never managed to work that one out. Maybe you think it’s a treasure box at first: you’re in there because you’re special. Soon the box starts to shrink. Every time you touch the edges there is an “argument”. So you try to make yourself fit. You curl up, become smaller, quieter, remove the excessive, offensive parts of your personality – you begin to notice lots of these. You eliminate people and interests, change your behaviour. But still the box gets smaller. You think it’s your fault. The terrible, unforgivable too-muchness of you is to blame. You don’t realise that the box is shrinking, or who is making it smaller. You don’t yet understand that you will never, ever be tiny enough to fit, or silent enough to avoid a row

gay update: getting gayer

[prettinessisnotarentyoupay]

The thing that is really shitty about feeling perpetually ashamed of yourself is that you never feel like a real person.  You never feel like you can develop interests because if you like it, that means it is stupid.  You never feel like you can develop solid friendships because they will just leave when they find someone better.  You never feel like you can have career goals because who would hire you?  

So you here you are, starving for Joy, for Love, for Security, for Comfort, and choking back your tongue every time your mouth opens to ask for it while the need scratches inside your skin.  

And it just goes on and on until you are an empty box of a person with nothing inside of you.
