sometimes i read messages and i’ll be like ‘oh i’ll reply later’ and i actually end up not replying so sorry if you think i’m ignoring it’s just laziness at its finest

this explains my inbox 

Sometimes I purposefully don’t blog because I think about how these 3k+ people whose messages I still haven’t answered will see me on their dashboards and probably hate me. If it’s any consolation, my inbox gives me a lot of anxiety and is perpetually on my to-do list. D:

Hey. I'm really curious, how did you learn to draw this well and which softares do you use to do it? I want to learn how to draw too, even though I'm 20, it's one of my dreams!

Thanks for thinking I draw well! I use SAI. Well the thing with drawing is that if you do it often enough you’ll inevitably get better even if you’re not exactly talented to begin with. I believe that’s what happened with me, haha. So if you want to draw too you should just go ahead and draw (often!). Looking at other people’s art helps heaps too. Good luck!

Are you still selling journals?

The hard copies, not anymore. Sorry! 

This applies to losing weight as well as gaining weight!
Unless you’re like me who can put on 10 lbs in a week like I was born for it.

I haven’t had chocolates/sweets/pastries/cakes in five days. That’s a record. And I still feel okay, not quite at that point yet where I feel ready to sacrifice my sister’s first born for a sugary bite of anything. Usually I reach that level of desperation in two days. I hope this lasts long enough to start becoming a habit. I’m quite good with my main meals but when it comes to snacks and desserts, I’m terrible. I need to stop stuffing my face with sugar if I want to get something out of my workouts.image

“You’re not fat. You have fat.” 
I got a lot of messages like that when I called myself fat in a selfie I posted a few days ago. I appreciate the intention, but try as I might I can’t bring myself to care about the message simply because I don’t get it. What’s so wrong with using the adjective fat? Is it so bad that we have to skirt around the truth and structure sentences so we can distance ourselves from it as much as we can? 
Fat is just a word. It’s an adjective and a noun. We all have fat but not all of us are fat, which is why saying I have fat is not the same as saying I am fat. I understand that the whole ‘you have fat’ idea is trying to achieve something positive, but I think it’s also contributing to our fixation on the word fat and reinforcing the negativity we have come to associate with it. Fat is not an insult, but in the end it’s up to you if you’ll take it as one. But here’s what I suggest: If you’re fat, be comfortable with saying you’re fat because I bet Dany’s dragons that it’s not the only thing you are. You’re smart, funny, talented, brave, thoughtful, kind, loyal, and a dozen other things that having a fat body won’t change.
P.S. Anyone who thinks fat=ugly clearly hasn’t seen Rebel Wilson in leather.
