Hi, I'm Vi. 17. Clumsy with words, and terrible with feelings. It's kind of a disappointment.

"I want to be able to get ice cream with my family at an ice cream stand in the summer and enjoy it. I want to be able to swim in the lake in a bikini instead of sitting on the beach in an oversized t-shirt. I want to be able to sleep over at a friend’s house and not worry about what we’ll have for dinner and breakfast and snack. I want to have a smile that conveys real happiness. I want to be able to eat pizza and ice cream on my birthday and feel like I deserve it. I want to be able to cry without hating myself for being “weak”. I want to bake chocolate chip cookies and eat them fresh from the oven. I want to be able to walk through my kitchen without having the urge to run away from it immediately. I want to be able to talk to people and express what I think instead of keeping everything inside. I want to wake up and think about something other than what the scale will tell me I am worth. I want to remember my life in terms of memories and not numbers. I want to be able to take a bite of food without fear and calculation.
These are such insignificant, normal experiences to most people. I would do anything to be able to have these experiences. I am doing everything I can to have these experiences."  - Summergirl:   (via perfectlyandbeautifully)

• Mom, casually at the lunch table: You know, this has so much protein and fiber, blah blah blah
• My thoughts: I know every nutrition label known to man you do not need to be telling me this

"People always think they know other people, but they don’t. Not really. I mean, maybe they know things about them, like they won’t eat donuts or they like action movies. But they don’t know what their friends do in their rooms alone at night or what happened to them when they were kids or why they feel fucked up and sad for no reason at all."  - Libba Bray, Going Bovine (via daylight-dreams)
