if I ever get skinny, will I be too old? I’m 21 almost 22 in a week and if it takes me 4 years to get there will it even be worth it? If I’m queer and I’m not after the Herero gaze does it even matter? Is this just because I’m trans or am I trans because I’m eating disordered. Do I want to d*e? is this worth it even if I’m old?
Dear Diary, We made it! Can you believe how far we’ve come since those awkward middle school days? I can picture it now, me dressed as Lady Gaga on Halloween 2k12 or was it 11’? These memories sometimes blur together for me unlike you, but I honestly find it astonishing how much we have changed. Little me would be so proud of how far I’ve come, I know you’ve seen all the good and bad days (sometimes I forget on purpose or just because of the cruel side effects of having a mind that is always running). Some of the memories that I have been thinking about recently are the time we used to go to the lake with that rebel grrrl from down the street, the time I watched Hannah Montana for the first time and instantly knew I wanted to be remembered for something (a star if you will), and mainly the weeks of last summer when I mopped around the house depressed because I wasn’t happy in my own life. Today, I can honestly say that we are in a good place. Ever since I listened to the great advice
my childhood is a blur, but maybe that's just part of growing up. i think dieting will always make me feel safe...like a child...but isn't it kind of fucked up that my earliest memories are of disordered eating habits and crying in changing rooms? idk honestly, i don't feel great when i restrict and go on pro-an* blogs, but they're so intertwined with my past they feel nostalgic.
