My tummy doesn’t have to be cute. It holds my internal organs.
My thighs don’t have to “crush men’s skulls”. I use them to carry myself.
My stretch marks don’t have to be tiger stripes I earned. They came when I grew.

Stop.

This!

I feel like even body positivity is too focused on, like, the appearance of the body. I know I became a whole lot happier with my body when I started thinking of it less in terms of how it looked (to me or anyone else) and realized, that, like…

When I feel cool breeze on my skin on a really hot day, my body did that for me.

When I step into a bath after a hike, and my muscles ache, but in a good way, and the steam all around me makes me feel like a flower blooming, my body did that for me.

And the hike before it, and standing on a large rock breathing the raw winter air seeing the power of the half-frozen river. That too.

When I’ve had a plate of pasta puttanesca, and I chopped and sauteed the ingredients and now I’m full-but-not-uncomfortable, and warm all over, and perfectly content, my body did that for me.

My body doesn’t have to look awesome to be awesome. It’s awesome because it’s where I live.

Best comment.

“[My body is] awesome because it’s where I live.”

Words. To. Live. By.

Finally, some real body positivity

Smash that mf reblog button if you stoically ignore all labelled washing instructions and everything your mama ever told you about laundry and just send those bastards hurgling around in an overfilled tub to meet either death or glory

Something I learned from a costume designer: if an item can be washed multiple ways the designer is only legally obligated to put one of the ways on the tag, but if there’s only one way to wash that item they have to put Only on the instructions

If the tag says “Dry Clean” it’s safe to machine wash but the designer thinks it looks better if you get it dry cleaned 

But if it says “Dry Clean Only” you will destroy it if you wash it any other way

Reblogging for that last bit which this 37 yr old adult did not lnowy

Another trope I forgot to mention that I love are traumatized characters experiencing love for the first time and not knowing how to cope with it. I just eat that shit up

especially when they’re like edgy, scary and mean. that moment where they get a tender hug, or a gentle rub or just someone complimenting them and their entire world view is changed. thats so good. i need more of it

THIS IS SO MY JAAAAAAAM~

Holy Love Message – 11/5/2018

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as
the Heart of God the Father.  He says: “Children, these days your
nation* is preparing to protect your southern border from the assault of
thousands** who are seeking asylum.  This is justified, as national
borders must be protected.  The boundaries of your heart must be
protected, as well.  It is only the soul that can do this.  There is no
military action that can defend what the heart accepts as Truth.”

“Whatever the heart believes in, is spilled out into the world
around him.  The soul who accepts My Will is protecting his heart from
extremism.  He will not become radical in thought, word or deed.  My
Will desires to protect the boundaries of your heart.  If you allow it
to be so, you will not be misled by liberalism – your life will be a
reflection of My Will.”

“Do not seek to impress others, seek to please Me.  Stand as an
example of obedience to My Divine Will – My Commandments.  This is your
defense in any attack or challenge – then the borders of your heart will
be protected from any onslaught from the enemy.”

* U.S.A.

** Thousands of Central American migrants are walking through southern Mexico in hopes of reaching the U.S.

Read Ephesians 5:15-17+

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,
making the most of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not
be foolish, but understand what the Will of the Lord is.
