I'll probably never understand why people think internet trolling and fatshaming is an effective method of communication. Don't they see how stupid it makes them look? Don't they know that the age old narrative of "obesity=death" is implanted in the mind of literally every human alive? We're all familiar with it- why are they trying to argue that point and pass it off like new information? Do you think it makes them feel strong and powerful to see their hateful words on a computer screen? Damn, that's sad. Do they not know that we don't give a fuck? Actually, lemme not speak on your behalf- don't they know that I don't give a fuck? It's a source of actual confusion for me, and when I see people hop up in my mentions in an attempt to provide education about how I'm (apparently) promoting an unhealthy lifestyle by telling people it's ok to be happy, fat and athletic, I'm just like "Don't you have a life to live? Why are you wasting your time shout-typing shit no one cares about?" Thankfully, my yoga practice has helped me find a way to say, "But honestly, Jessamyn- who even cares because the universe is so much bigger than all of this nonsense?" But there's a piece of me that's definitely rolling her eyes at the haters and saying, "Why are you letting the world know that you're a small minded dumbass who needs to have your ego reaffirmed by talking shit about strangers on the internet in the name of health education? Is it that hard to get a life and mind your own business? Because some of y'all make it look damn near impossible." To those of you who are ready to don your armor and spar with these fools, please don't feel compelled to argue with trolls on my behalf. They are weak minded, insecure, and suffering from a level of boredom and unhappiness that I truly can't fathom. It's really not worth anyone's time. Life is brief and it shouldn't be spent battling with idiots. Go out and live in your truth- if we want to argue in the name of a new way to be healthy, there's no better method at our disposal. Throwback to that time I drank green juice in my Olga Intimates bra #fearlesslyflirty (at Durham, North Carolina)
