Anonymous sent: It is NOT your fault. None of this is. Some chemicals in your brain and society's fucked-up perception of beauty is making you feel this way. If only you could see what others see: a beautiful, confident, talented young woman.

I really don’t have words to respond to this… just please know how much it means to me. And how much it helps.

Thank you so much for your kindness. Really. It makes a world of difference…

Anonymous sent: You mentioned that you're an RA. me too! Except I absolutely hate my floor because they always do dumb shit. Do you have good residents?

My residents are lovely. I actually really like them a lot. But I’ve got to be honest, being an RA while concurrently being Vocal Performance major was probably one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. And now that I’m double majoring, there’s no way in hell I’m taking the job again. I love my boss and some of my co-workers, but I’m honestly looking forward to this job just being over with.

Anonymous sent: If you keep defeating yourself, you're never going to get better. I'm dealing with the same stuff you are, I understand what it's like to feel so worthless but it's easier if I act like I am talking to my best friend. I wouldn't tell her hurtful things, so I try not to tell them to myself.

You’re absolutely right.

I’m doing a lot better than I used to. I’ve been feeling this way all day but I managed to actually make it until the nighttime before I started feeling really awful about myself. But there’s still a lot of progress to be made, I understand that… 

Thank you for reminding me of this. And I wish you the best of luck on your journey as well. I know it isn’t easy.

Anonymous sent: Objection: there is a lack of verifiable evidence for the defendants claims of being "fat," a "failure," or a "fuck," whatever that is supposed to mean. I move that the claim be stricken from the record due to citing patent untruths.

Is that you, Nick? hahahaha. But whoever this is, whether it’s Nick or not, thank you so much for your kindness.

Anonymous sent: you wrecked your car?!?!?!? how?? :O

I was pulling out of a parking lot in my school while driving a group of my friends to dress rehearsal for a show, and smashed head-on into another car. 

No one was hurt, but both of the cars were destroyed. This was shortly after I got out of the hospital, so I was rather shaken up by it. I still am, actually. I’m furious with myself.

Anonymous sent: I am convinced that the reason you [sometimes] wish to die is because angels were never meant to live on Earth; you are a beautiful violation of nature.

… To be honest I have no idea how to respond to this. I read it in my car and started tearing up, but had to hold back tears so the person at the Pharmacy Drive-Thru didn’t think I was absolutely insane.

I don’t think I am deserving of such a compliment. But this meant so much to me.

Thank you.

Anonymous sent: Every time you post a big text post about a breakdown you have, I read it. We were never close friends. But I considered us friends enough. Every time I read what you say, I wish I could help you. Every time I read what you say, I think to myself, how can someone so beautiful not see what we see? Tell yourself every day. You are beautiful. Maybe one day, you will see too.

I think I know who you are, anon.

To be honest I’m not even entirely sure what to say to this. It leaves me speechless and dumbfounded, but not necessarily in a bad way. Even if you are not who I think you are, please know how much this support means to me… especially during such a a dark and dismal time in my life.

Anonymous sent: You are seriously one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen in my life. You have stunning fiery hair and beautiful eyes. You are like an aura of beauty, and you can't even see it. I hope that one day you can look in the mirror and see what everyone around you does. I know it's a struggle but things will always get better. You are amazingly gorgeous, inside and out. Remember that.

Oh God… Anon I am so sorry I forgot to respond to this, I’ve been lost in myself lately but reading this now just helped to lift me up so much. Thank you for this kindness, whoever you are. It really made a difference in my day.

Anonymous sent: Found you through StopHatingYourBody. 2 comments: 1st, you're absolutely gorgeous. Anyone telling you otherwise is either blind or jealous. You may not see it yet but you have a beautifully proportioned, classically feminine figure that I very much hope you'll come to see, appreciate and enjoy. 2nd, bravo on insisting on help with the eating disorder you've struggled with. That takes courage and determination. I wish you all the best as you find all of your beauty that is both inside and out!

You are so kind. I must sound like a broken record to my followers but I really can’t describe the appreciation I feel for all of you that took time out of your day to give me support such as this. It really lifts me up so much. Thank you <3

Anonymous sent: I feel the exact same sometimes. I followed maybe 30+ fitblrs over last summer when I was getting fit and healthy, but last month all they seemed to do was expel my previously healthy(?) body image.

I have a very on-off relationship with fitblrs… Some of them actually just promote mindful and healthy eating, but most of them are just about getting skinny. Which just feeds into the madness of this culture. I can definitely feel you there :(
