Your heart will become a dusty piano in the basement of a church and she will play you when no one is looking. Now you understand why it’s called an organ.

I know this transformation is painful, but you’re not falling apart; you’re just falling into something different, with a new capacity to be beautiful.

I've never met one person who promoted a fat person starving themselves.

Hi anon, I think you referring to this quote I reblogged:

“The reality is that fat people are often supported in hating their bodies, in starving themselves, in engaging in unsafe exercise, and in seeking out weight loss by any means necessary. A thin person who does these things is considered mentally ill. A fat person who does these things is redeemed by them. This is why our culture has no concept of a fat person who also has an eating disorder. If you’re fat, it’s not an eating disorder — it’s a lifestyle change.”— Lesley Kinzel

I have experienced this countless times and to be honest I have to admit that years ago I was one of these people as well who looked at an overweight person eating a burger at McDonalds and thought: “Wow this person should better not eat this burger!” When I was overweight I felt like I don’t have the right to eat. I felt like I have to earn my right to eat with a workout. I felt like it is my responsibility to get myself back into an “appealing” shape. Weight Watchers was one of the main triggers for my eating disorder, but even though people in my surrounding noticed that I was starving myself and consuming not more than 800 calories a day from silly diet shakes, they still gave me a feeling of “good on you, girl, no one wants to be fat, so you just do what it takes.”

How often get fat people told “You could be very pretty if you’d lose a couple of pounds!”? It’s reality that magazines show before and after weight loss pictures of celebrities saying “After losing 20kg NOW she looks amazing!”, not considering that these people might have done horrible things to their bodies. Some of them even promote things like mono diets or drinking diet shakes or whatever. Diet culture exists, fat shaming exists and the encouragement for fat people to lose weight, no matter how, exists too. 

Diet culture is dangerous. Our mental and physical health is our most important, precious gift and should always be our Nr.1 priority. And if that means to eat a bag of nachos with cheese dip without feeling guilty while having a movie night with your friends, even though you might be overweight, then this is your god damn right.

The husband should be a leader. The wife should be a leader. The husband leads the wife in areas she is weak and needs guidance. The wife leads the husband where he is weak and needs guidance.

But enough of trying to fit genders into prescriptive boxes. If the dynamics of a relationship aren’t based on the gifts of the individuals involved, then it isn’t grace-driven and honoring each spouse as created, but legalistic and denying God’s good creation.

The head of a company survived 9/11 because His son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because it was His turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her Alarm clock didn’t go off in time. One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike Because of an auto accident. One of them Missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take Time to change. One’s Car wouldn’t start. One couldn’t Get a taxi. The one that struck me was the man Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, Took the various means to get to work but before. He got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.. Now when I am Stuck in traffic, Miss an elevator, Turn back to answer a ringing telephone… All the little things that annoy me, I think to myself, This is exactly where I’m meant to be At this very moment

“Racism is dying out with the older generation.”

Um, Darren Wilson is younger than I am.

The SAE frat kids are like 10 years younger than I am.

[zuky]

Exactly. That tired myth of “waiting for old people to die for the world to become a better place” is actually a very clever way of encouraging non-action about injustice that exists today. Racism doesn’t die out with its architects; the architecture of racism is built to last. White supremacism has thrived for 500 years. I mean, most white people still think God is a white dude. Racism won’t go away by simply waiting it out; it must be actively dismantled in every fact of life.

I wear glasses.  Can I manage without glasses?  Well, yes, probably.  I could squint a lot, constantly move up close to anything I want to see, take the bus or a taxi if I want to go anywhere.  I could just accept that I’ll never be able to see eagles flying in the sky or whales jumping out of the ocean.   But why?  Why try so hard to manage life when I could just put on a pair of glasses?  No one would ever suggest a near-sighted person should just work harder.  No one would say ‘Maybe that’s just your normal’ to someone that needs glasses.  They would say ‘Let’s go to the eye doctor and get you a prescription so you’re able to see again.’ You shouldn’t have to try so hard.

This is such a good analogy because nobody thinks about it like this.  If you wear glasses, you literally need constant use of a medical aid to experience the world like most people do.  If it were anything besides glasses, that would be considered a disability.  But needing glasses is an extremely common, visible, and accepted form of disability to the point that we don’t even consider it one, we just accept that some people need glasses and that’s perfectly normal and there’s nothing wrong with needing to rely on them.

That is how all disabilities and illnesses should be seen, and how we should look at treatment for them.  You have a problem, and you need help dealing with it, and there’s nothing wrong with either of those things.  That’s perfectly normal and that’s okay.
