i can feel the sting from the inside out, as i’m trying so desperately to be quiet while my mind runs marathons of self destructive thoughts, because i would rather suffer alone than give you another reason to call me those things.
Lifting has shown me that I can do difficult things and reach realistic goals. But honestly one of my favorite things is the improvement in my social life: i get invited to do shit all the time that I never would have when I was overweight.
Temen cewek gue datang ke reuni SMA beberapa tahun setelah lulus. Ada satu cowok yang ngeliatin dia agak lama. Terus cowoknya nyamperin dan bilang: “Sorry, kita dulu satu sekolah ya?” Temen gue senyum. “Kita bahkan sekelas dua tahun.” Muka cowoknya langsung berubah.
