WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY BODY IMAGE ISSUES?! i wanna be skinny, i wanna be flat chested, i wanna have a slim waist, i wanna have a flat stomach. why do i want these things though? I AM SO SICK OF HATING MY BODY OUT IN PUBLIC, WATCHING MY LEGS MOVE IN THE BATHROOM MIRROR, ERASE, ERASE, LOOK AWAY!!! oh please please please, i wanna be pretty, i want to love my face like these other beautiful girls who make thirst trap videos and get all the boys on their side. IT’S NOT FAIRRRRRR!!! I WANNA LOVE MYSELF, I WANNA LOVE MY BODY DANGITTTTT!!! WHY DID SOCIETY MAKE THESE STANDARDS?!! WHOEVER DID DESERVES TEN THOUSAND SLAPS TO THE FACE TO REPRESENT HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR AND GAGGED AND WANTED TO JUST QUIT EATING!!!!! I DETEST YOU WITH ALL MY BEINGGGGGHH!!! I HATE STANDARDS, I JUST WANNA BE GORGEOUS, I WANNA BE STICK-THIN, I DON’T WANT THIS STUPID ROUND STOMACH, I AM SICK OF IT!!!!! BUT I CAN’T STOP EATING BECAUSE THEN I’LL HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND EXPLAIN MY PROBLEMS WHICH THEY’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY, BUT I EAT SIXTEEN APPLES A DAY AND THEY STILL COME AROUND!!!! I WANNA BE LOVED AND PERFECT BY SOCIETY STANDARDS BUT I QUITE POSSIBLY MAY NEVER BE!!! THAT’S TERRIFYING TO ME!!! HELPPPP MEEEEEEEE
