The Invasive Bubbles of Facebook

Okay people,
I understand Google Plus is on the up rise,
I realize it is preferred by many,
it is sleek and stylish,
but dear Facebook,
the bubbles aren't helping you.

Yes, Google Plus has successfully accomplished the "bubble" look,
FACEBOOK,
YOU TOOK IT TOO FAR!

One day,
I turned my phone screen on,
and the face of some random stalker on Facebook is floating around in a bubble on my screen.

WHAT THE HECK?!?!
You can actually move this little bubble around,
to more convenient places on your screen.
The weirdest part is how it remains there after you read the message.
You have to physically drag and delete the stupid bubble yourself,
and who even asked for it to show up there?

Sometimes there are a lot of bubbles,
and they all show up on my lock screen,
which is UBER unattractive if your OCD like me.

The moral of this story is,
Facebook, you should stick to your own style.
The bubbles are way to invasive,
almost as if the random distant Facebook "friends" are staring into my soul...

P.S. The name "chat heads" is super inappropriate,
majorly weird,
and doesn't make Facebook anymore attractive.

I'm back in season, and so is the thinspo...

You heard me right gang,
got a new laptop (the samsung chromebook),
and I am back on the web for all of my pointless blogging!
With this I must say,
I've noticed the excessive amount of thinspo have again taken over the web!
This my friends, is ridiculous!

"Nothing taste as good as skinny feels",
"Don't reward yourself with food, you're not a dog",
They call this fitspo!
NO MY FRIENDS,
this is the beginning signs of an EATING DISORDER!!!

We are all caught up on the obesity in America,
which is no doubt a problem,
but we have forgotten about all the others.
In encouraging overeaters to lose weight,
to be fit,
to eat less and exercise more,
we have forgotten to explain that everyone's body is DIFFERENT!
Not everyone fits into a category,
and people are becoming obsessed with being "fit",
like it's a competition.

In the beginning it is a choice,
but it won't remain that way,
before you know it you will cross a line,
be on the other side of the eating disorder quota,
and it will control you more than you will ever admit.
70 Lbs and 5 foot tall you're still concerned with your "fitspo",
but the only thing you need to be fit is to gain 40 Lbs.

People,
I understand that some of you won't be triggered,
but this trend is much like the one Twiggy started in America many years ago.
Weight can very much so be an issue,
but if it isn't affecting your ability to do things,
then there are more important things left for your time and energy.


On a positive note,
SUMMER IS HERE!
My season. (:
Take the time to show off your bods ladies,
whatever the shape,
because uniform is just too boring.

Please, join the movement!

I started this as a Girl Scout gold award project,
I continue it because I've been the addict.

I know what it is like to be caught up in complete consumption,
to suffer an eating disorder that threatens your life.

I have been the victim of self-mutilation,
the girl who yearned to take her own life.

I have seen the depths of depression,
and seen the affects of drugs in loved one's lives,

I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE,
or where your scared you may go,
or even where you fear your loved one's going.

Join our movement,
because years later,
I am bombarded with support,
and I'm still suffering consequences.

You lose friends,
social life,
people,
you lose sanity,
virginity,
morals,
you lose ability,
hope,
love,
WE WANT TO RETURN IT.

I can't do much more than what I have without participation,
so please,
help us.

Thank you guys.

college affects my writing...

in the most negative way possible!
I love the art of written word,
I love the puzzle to get all the words to fit just right.
However, my writing is suffering,
and i hate it.

My keyboard has been out of commission,
but I'M BACK!

I have confided in literature as my secret indulgent.
When my day ends badly,
when I wish to escape,
after long sessions of prayer,
I always pick up a good book and reinvent the sequence of events as if I am the protagonist, and the antagonist, and every other character holding a speaking part.

Literature is a work of art,
it is an art, like much other art, that is quite under appreciated.

Within the binds of novel is an alternate universe,
you get to create it,
and as you live in it you gain wisdom beyond your years.

As I divulge in my latest read,
I yearn to better myself as a writer,
so that I may offer others such wondrous experiences!

This is one of my only passions I give in to that doesn't benefit the general public.
I encourage you to dive into a good read,
and should you not like the universe you open,
open another,
and another,
until your life is changed.

We are what we allow ourselves to be consumed with,
and where I was once consumed with promiscuity,
 self-mutilation,
 an eating disorder,
and much much more sin,
I know find myself consumed with written words.

I love people,
and I am an active volunteer,
but literature is building me.

I find the best foundation of all literature calls it's self the corner stone.
My Bible is the first work of art I chose to turn to,
but not the only.

Two things are certain in life,
you can never own too many well-written books,
and you can never come close to ever reading too much.

Here's to passion,
and written word,
and most of all,
the word of God.

Fall Arives

Mmmm.
Cool mornings,
cooler evenings,
sweaters,
colored leaves that fall,
seasonal depression,
colds,
runny noses,
AMAZING inspiration.

God moves me in the fall weather,
the season I struggle the most,
transitioning from happy sunny skies,
to the sad cool breeze.

In my weakness,
He is made strong.
My struggles bring out the best in me,
and I feel like a writer again.

Yes,
I am a writer.
One day,
I will be a published writer.
I am determined.

Dreams,
for me they never end.
They grow,
and they multiply.
I know exactly what I want,
I WILL get it.

Today,
words have consumed me,
meaningless,
leading no where,
and here I am,
sharing them,
wasting your time.

I apologize for that.
Quick update,
I have become less concerned with my body,
further away from my eating disorder,
but the most triggering time of the year is sneaking up,
so please,
prayer warriors,
pray strong.

College is bearable.
Life is continuing.
I just believe I can do more than this.
I am more than this.

Stay blessed,
stay reading,
there is much better to come,
I promise!

Thank you for your eyes and time.

I lied

I said you never get over an eating disorder entirely.
I lied.
God can do anything,
everything.
What I was implying,
You can recover,
no doubt,
but there are always triggers.
You have to fight that,
you have to chose to fall back or stand strong.

My fault is how easily I fall back.
Its not a pill you can take,
you don't get well or get over it,
you fight a brutal war,
you set your ship to sail,
and when the wind starts to tip you over,
you adjust your sails.

One day, you look in the mirror,
and you laugh,
oh my goodness,
what a great laugh of relief.

If your as lucky as I was,
there will be two or three people,
they will bend over backwards to understand whats wrong,
they dont leave,
they love with out conditions,
they pray for you,
cry for you,
and pick you up when you fall down.

Those people got me through the worst part of my disorder,
the scariest part,
when I questioned God,
when I was so small i was almost happy with myself,
When I almost dies,
when I was okay with that.

THERE IS HOPE,
no matter how far you are,
there is more than existance,
there is a life to live.

I apoligize for my misconcepted words,
God is bigger and stronger than any demon you have,
unless you feed your demon,
and keep your demon,
and walk him,
and love him,
then God can do nothing with his bigness and strongness,
because you nurture the demon instead of your faith.

People, GOD IS MORE THAN YOU CAN GET ON EARTH!
Why are we playing games?
We''re at the club,
drinking underage,
having sex and babies like rabbits,
smoking,
starving,
self-destructing,
We are searching the world for purpose and completeness.

Don't get me wrong,
No baby is a mistake,
no person is stupid,
but we do some pretty stupid stuff.

God has offered us purpose,
completeness,
unconditional love,
everything we look for!

I can't make you do anything,
but I can advise you to save yourself the heartache,
and give God a shot.

I was hopeless,
I was gone,
I was dead,
I was no one,
and now I'm on a mission,
to make an impact in this world.

You are worth more,
You deserve greatess,
You deserve to be okay,
God deserves you,
but thats your decision.

thank you for your eyes and time.
