I shared this comic by Amy Howard on Facebook a few weeks ago along with a note saying that I don’t care that I’m fat and refuse to feel ashamed of my body anymore. Lots of people liked it and commented saying I’m beautiful blablahblah whatever. But the best thing happened. My mum read it. My mum liked it. My mum commented on it and shared it. My mum, who has always tried to “help” me "change” (and caused me a whooole lot of grief over the years), finally understood that I am not a problem that needs to be fixed. I am not broken, I am not less than, I am not suffering. I’m just fat. And I don’t give a shit. And now I’ve got my mum in my corner. That’s huge. Cheers, Amy!

I started this blog years ago when I was really interested in poetry and writing, but I was scared of doing it publicly. I thought that an anonymous blog would allow me to write without inhibition. I am sure that had I ever actually gotten around to writing anything, it would have. 

In order to use my secondary blog (gottheserecords.tumblr.com), I have to keep this one in existence... so I might as well use it. I have opinions and ideas about things that I guess I could share occasionally.

I have included here, a photo of my best friend and me. She is my platonic life partner, always in my corner, and always pushing me to be a better person. She’s the best.
