Untangling Amy From The ED

If you're reading this, know that you're beautiful. I'm Amy, 17, perfectionist-gone-awry. Finally recovering from the anorexia that's ripped me to shreds for far too long. Love books, music (Being as an Ocean are perfection) and my beautiful friends. Wish me luck and follow along on my journey :3 My ask is always open and I am always here to help/chat! For anyone triggered by my selfies, I tag them 'amypicturetw'. My Instagram is UntanglingAmy- come follow!

I think one of my favorite feelings is laughing with someone and realizing half way through how much you enjoy them and their existence.

who on earth coined the stereotype that girls are obsessed with changing clothes i’ve been wearing the same t shirt and pajama pants for two days now and the same bra for like three

OOH OOH I KNOW THIS ONE! so in the elizabethan era queen elizabeth couldn’t appear like she was having That Time of the Month in front of the male members of her court, and you bet your ass if she had to remain in the public eye while she was bleeding from the snatch then the rest of the female courtiers did too. because they didn’t have handy dandy tampons back in the day, they would basically shove a rag down there and inevitably bleed onto the inner layers of their clothes. she what did they do? changed clothes. about eight times a day to be precise, and they did that all month long, so none of the delicate male constitutions would be offended by unseen yet implied bloody lady parts. this is part of why fashion was such a huuuuuge cultural item (and the secondhand clothing industry was such a huge part of society) because they had to appear like they were just doing it out of vanity/showing off their wealth. this became pretty much the standard mode of behavior for ladies who had to be out and about during shark week, right up until some nurses realized that the specialized gauze pads they used to plug up bullet wounds would work great for other such bleeding holes.

so yeah if you were wondering why dudes think women change their clothes a lot its because they don’t understand periods.

[star-spangled-jackass]

It always comes down to men not being able to handle periods

maybe pope frank is trying to remind people that their whole religion is based on the teachings of a jewish socialist, and that if they want to call themselves christian, they should start acting like it

The Pope wants to talk to the next president.

Love someone who is kinder to you than you are to yourself.

When you have bad days that just won’t let up, I just hope that you will look in the mirror and remind yourself what you are and what you are not.

There must be quite a few things a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them. Whenever I’m sad I’m going to die, or so nervous I can’t sleep, or in love with someone I won’t be seeing for a week, I slump down just so far and then I say: ‘I’ll go take a hot bath.’
