lovely mental naivety


The first three words you find describe you.

I find lovely, mental, and naive.
You?

disappear

i want to disappear


light airy floating bones feathers wings bird flying


delicate


like a soap bubble - so beautiful, people are afraid to touch it


in case it breaks


in case i break.

that awkward moment
when someone asks to borrow
one of your hair ties
and you have to say no
even though you have
five on one wrist
because you need them
not for your hair
but to cover up
the marks
of your own self hatred.

105 warning

105 followers.  Truly, I am honored.  And noticing that improved my day, a bit.  So thank you.

But.  A word of warning.

To anyone not yet caught up in this hell?

get. out. now.

I mean it.

You think EDs are glamorous?  Will make you skinny pretty happy?

Lies.

You try looking/feeling/being glamorous with your head down the toilet, the knife to your arm, the laxatives when they take effect.  Passing out in the halls, never having a social life cause you're terrified to eat.  Your loved ones crying.

This is not glamorous, and this WILL NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY.  I promise.

But another but:  I love you all.  And I support you in whatever you decide.

Love,
Posie

badge of honor? badge of horror, more like it

Apparently, I ran myself so hard that I literally fractured bones in my legs.

My team thinks it's awesome - so hardcore!  6 weeks off minimum to recover, sweet deal!

Um, no.

I'm in shock.  I am going to lose it.

I really am.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

What do you think?

//edit:  starting tomorrow, every single thing that enters my mouth will be recorded here.  i will keep me honest.  i swear it.

perfection

You think I have this perfect life.

Perfect life, perfect grades, perfect friends, perfect family, perfect boyfriend, perfect perfect perfect.

You don't know that my perfect grades are slipping, my perfect friends are actually cutters and suicidal and bulimics and anorexics, my perfect family is worried sick about me, my perfect boyfriend saw the cuts on my hips the other night, the cuts that I made myself, and that I spend my every day chasing it.

Chasing perfection.

The thing about perfection?  No one's perfect.

Starvingbleedingdying to be perfect.

explanations

I am terribly sorry that I'm such a crap blogger.

A brief word of explanation:  I am a senior in high school, taking four college classes and two other honors classes.  I have a GPA of 5.1, and am ranked second in my class of nearly 700 students.  I am a two season athlete (xc and spring track), president of my school's community service club, assistant editor of our newspaper, and am currently applying to eight different colleges as well as numerous financial aid/merit scholarships.

I do not tell you this to brag, I tell you this to explain my sorry lack of posting.  I am, quite simply, too busy!  My life is insanity.

On the weight loss front:  I eat enough to function well enough to keep up all of the above.  My weight is disgusting; I am disgusting, and I wish that were an exaggeration, but it's not.  At all.  I think I weigh about 105 pounds.  Can we all say NASTY FAT ASS together? But I would be more disgusting if I failed at the above.  So.  I don't know what to do.

On the cutting front:  It's a lot.  Thank heavens for colder weather and long sleeves.  Also boyfriend found out.  Shitshitshit.

On the cold front (haha):  IT'S SO COLD HERE.  I'm miserable.  I miss summer.

Update me in the comments on all of you?  I miss Blogger and my girls.

Love love love,
Posie

PS:  Britni Marie - Wicked is DEFINITELY a must see - simply AMAZING!

shout out!

to Britni Marie and Tempest!  Check out their lovely blogs.

I love Wicked.

Good job girls, stay strong.
