Who I Was Before

Austin. 24. Florida. Nerdfighter. Graduate Student in Comparative Literature. Writer. Thinker. Musician. I try to see the beauty in the world, even though it's often very difficult to do it successfully.

It takes strength to look down at a water-loaded stomach, 5:30pm, and admire it. Strength to know the different a between bloat and fat, to know that neither are a death sentence. It takes strength to calculate macros as opposed to caloric value, and to know that calories are a measurement of energy. It takes so much fucking strength to work on improving ones body without shamming it, to seek change in a physical appearance without disgracing the current one. Strength to love and care for a body that has tested you, that has fought along the way. Strength to say yes to new foods. Strength to say no to foods, as well. Strength to balance work with rest. Strength to listen to the bodies quiet little voice. I am trying.

there are too many versions of me in the universe! the girl i bumped into but didn’t stop to say sorry to has a version of me in her mind. the guy i let borrow my homework has another version of me in his. even my friends, my family, and everyone i’ve ever met in my life has their own version of me in their minds that i’m not even aware of

I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.

I think this is so interesting and it makes me think way too much about how accurate it is for different people.

Hi! I absolutely love your tumblr. I was just wondering what filter (if you used one) you used and where it came from for your coffee and book picture. It's stunning!

Hi! Thank you so much. I hate to say this, but I posted it so long ago that I don't quite remember what I used 😅I'd have to say it was either one of the filters on VSCO or just me editing with my iPhone. I'm sorry! Glad you liked it though!

It’s not always necessary to be strong, but to feel strong.
