A man who knows how to be soft and gentle is so attractive to me. A man desperately ignoring emotions and trying to preserve his hyper masculinity is such a turn off to me.

Every time I see “guilt” or “sin” associated with food I roll my eyes so hard I’m worried they’re going to get stuck.

“5 Super Bowl Snacks you Don’t Have to Feel Guilty About!” Dear God Brenda just eat the nachos. They’re special, they make you happy, and some nachos for the Super Bowl are not going to make or break anything.

By all means, make the lettuce wraps too, but do so because they’re healthy and yummy, maybe they align with your goals better. But guilt and shame and sin shouldn’t never be associated with food. It is not healthy. It should not be normalized.

Food does not have morality. Food does not change your worth as a person.

Let’s get something straight: Nobody admires you for being anorexic, That’s just the voice in your head. They will not applaud you, Or think of you as ‘controlled’, or ‘tragically beautiful’. They will not envy you, They do not see your slow suicide As admirable. Anorexia does not make you special, Different or unique. Your laughter, your passions, Your smile, are why people love you. They do not love anorexia, They love you, and though the voice says Without it you are nothing. I promise, without anorexia You are everything. Recovery is a choice, And it means you have to fight. Eat, even when anorexia is screaming At you to stop. Recovery is learning, That you are admirable without being thin, That you are interesting without anorexia, That you are worth more than a life With a demon in your head, who Wants to kill you. You are perfect, and you do not Need this disease, to make you Feel worthy of life. Please, do not Put your trust in Anorexia Nervosa, You are worth So much more.

A reminder to all sufferers. (via nicolesonlylife)

Y'all gotta watch what you say to kids and in front of kids. I was working with some young black kids today and one of the girls asked me why I had my hair natural. I told her I’m just taking a break from weaves and braids and all that and she said oh girl no we too dark to have our nappy hair out like that. She was 9. She said she doesn’t leave her house without it flat ironed because people will think she’s broke and ugly. This is also the same girl that last summer told me that we needed to go inside out of the sun because boys don’t like girls with dark skin. Little kids don’t come up with this stuff themselves, they hear their parents or other people talk about things and internalize the self hate or will tell these hurtful untrue things to their darker peers.
