It's a little depressing but i only blame myself for letting my life slip by me and doing nothing about anything. I really envy the one that lives in the bahamas, i'd love to live there just soaking up life and life seems within reach of me, yet i can't (or don't?) seem to grab it. I like self pity so that's also why i'm at where i am today.

i don't think people live as great of lives as they like to build up on facebook. i have a relative that likes to pretend she is a regular martha stewart on facebook. she always posts about cleaning, cooking homemade meals, taking care of the children by warm, cozy fires (blah blah blah). if you go to her house it is filthier than any kennel i have ever seen at the ASPCA. the floor is caked in animal excrement, large dogs take massive craps in there, she doesn't clean it and they track it allllll over the floor. i didn't want to touch anything or sit down. it was putrid. they live off of cup of noodles, hardly homemade meals. it's bad. if CPS knew anything she'd probably lose all of her kids. don't tell me that it is because of poverty, either. there is a difference between being poor and being filthy. there is not a correlation. she doesn't work so she has time to clean. no excuse. and what is backwards is that she always posts on facebook about how much she hates fake people. lol but anyone who hasn't been to her house would never guess. ever. so don't believe everything you see on facebook.

EXACTLY - people have been doing the same thing for far longer than Facebook has been around

they only present to the rest of the world the 10% of their lives that they're actually happy with

because they think that if everything looks ok on the outside - then it is ok

you have no idea how many people who look so happy and with it are really miserable behind closed doors

Feeling angry about the outrageous physical standards women are held to these days.

I never thought about it before, but..... we all shave our armpits and legs and private region because we're told that it's "gross" to have hair there. Well then, why was it there in the first place???

It's like the circumcision thing. "Foreskin is ugly." Um, HELLO YOU IDIOTS, it's NATURAL!!!!!! It's SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!!!! You're all brainwashed!!!!!

I wouldn't have the guts to walk around with hairy armpits and legs, but.... it really does piss me off to an extreme degree.

My teeth aren't perfect.
My fingers are short.
My hands are small.
I'm short in stature.
My feet are tiny.
My butt isn't exactly voluptuous.
My breasts aren't perfectly even.
I have scars.
I have a birthmark.
I have some larger pores on my nose.
I have dark under-eye circles.
My hair gets oily after a day and a half.
I'm pale.
I have a scar above my belly button from my former belly ring.
My second ear piercings aren't even.
My first ear piercings aren't even in size.
I've been told I need to pluck in between my eyebrows by a very shallow woman trying to spoil my self-image (it's BS - the hair there is blonde and there isn't much. Everyone has it.)
There's a mole on my neck.
I have some acne.

But um, all these things come with the territory. It's part of life and having a human body. Someone reading down this list might go, "ewwwww", but stop and think: if you posted all your own "flaws", it would be similar. It's normal.

Anyway, rant over. Just so sick of the beauty industry and their lies. It's all LIES. Every image you see - even pictures of objects - are ALL RETOUCHED. It's REQUIRED.

Lies!

Grrrrr.

My teeth are crooked

I smell of BO if i don't put underarm on

my fingers are medium sized

My hand is medium sized

My mouth is small

I have brown spots on both arms (around 6 on each)

I got hairy hands and fingers

I got hair on my armpitts (not anymore)

I have no hair

I'm overweight (220 lbls and 5'10 so not that much compared to what you see out there every day all day)

I have red spots on my cheeks (no idea what it is...makes me look worse having it there, no it's not acne i have never had that)

Beatrice

Heh, thanks for posting that. I didn't expect anyone to post theirs, I was just ranting, but that was kind of cool


On a separate note..... I'M SO FREAKING ANGRY RIGHT NOW. Just sick to death of my family and society and myself. Today when I told my grandfather I got the job I applied to, he said, "Good girl," and "Save your money. I know there are a million things you want to buy but you need to save for school." As if I don't know that!!!! And GOOD GIRL??? REALLY???? Why is he so patronizing??? I'm 20 years old, not 13! LEAVE ME ALONE!

I just don't know what to do. So angry. So freaking angry. Where do I channel all this rage? I want to scream. I hate the losers who have put me down, I hate the people who treat me like crap, I hate that no one really knows about SA and they don't understand. I can't help but get bitter because I hold so much inside. And then they wonder why I'm being so "cold" to them. THINK ABOUT IT. Think about how you are toward me, when I HAVE made it clear I want to be treated like an adult and not a child!

Eff off. Seriously. I hate you all.

Leave me alone.

Buy some painting supplies and a sheet of paper and take your anger out on that. It works for some people. It's the painting where you use the brush and you thrash madly at the paper and once your anger is gone you look at what you did. Some find it beautiful.
