Self doubt. A ton of bricks. Who am I if not confident, carefree, fearless, strong? What's left of me when I'm destroyed, depressed, delicate, and down? Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers. Will they like this, will they hear this, will they see this, will they want this. Will I still be who I am without...them? A… Continue reading Social Media – What’s Left Of Me

Our Mixed Weight Relationship – An Interview With My Partner Of 10 Years
Something I've always felt there's a real lack of is interviews with thin men who love fat women. These men are given nicknames like, "chubby chaser" and told their physical and sexual preferences are just fetishes, but the reality is that loving a fat woman doesn't require you to be anything other than a person… Continue reading Our Mixed Weight Relationship – An Interview With My Partner Of 10 Years
We Need To Talk About Body Positive Clickbait
There's a trend. It's been a trend for a while. It's a trend I myself have dabbled in. Incessant Body Positive clickbaiting and ranting. Divisiveness is a powerful tool. There are hundreds of thousands of content creators who use their platform to bring about division amongst people because arguing humans means more clicks, more comments,… Continue reading We Need To Talk About Body Positive Clickbait
I Take My Clothes Off For You
Several months ago a friendship between myself and someone I'd known since high school ended because I choose to be photographed and drawn in the nude.

I've also taken photos of my body in… Continue reading I Take My Clothes Off For You
Nude
I want to take my clothes off. I want to feel the sun and the breeze touching every part of me. I want it to wrap its tendrils through my pubic hair, caress my thighs, and kiss my breasts. Not because they are sexual, and not for any form of sexual gratification, but because I… Continue reading Nude

Non Airbrushed MeΒ
When I got the email that I'd been accepted as an Ambassador for the orginazation, Non Airbrushed Me, I was ecstatic. Being open and vulnerable about my physical and mental health and my journey to love this body has been the basis of my blogging endeavors this past *almost* year.

A Day With Kate Spade
A few weeks ago I was reached out to by the director of our local Kate Spade store about a VIP event they were hosting! I'd stepped foot into Kate Spade a few times and always adored literally everything I saw, but hadn't yet found the courage to commit to something! So, when Jessika Perez… Continue reading A Day With Kate Spade
Girls Trip 2017 – Part 2 – The Clothes!
Even though I wear all black and I proudly consider myself a goth-wannabe, I know there are still plenty of black outfits that are perfect for warm, sunny weather! I went through my closet and picked out a few I thought would give me the best of both worlds! The first outfit I grabbed was… Continue reading Girls Trip 2017 – Part 2 – The Clothes!
My Fat Did THAT
What if we changed the dialogue? What if we rewrote the weight loss tropes? What if we switched it up a little, changed the tempo, reblocked the whole set, and rearranged the conversation altogether? What if instead of telling fat people all the things they can't do...we told them all the things they can? What… Continue reading My Fat Did THAT
