An Open Letter to Skinny Bitches




Ever have one of those days you realize if you spend your entire life worrying about your weight, you’re not going to achieve much more? No? In that case why don’t you sit your skinny ass down and take notes. Let that day be today. You are successfully wasting the potential of nature’s most intricate and beautiful device. Every second you spend worrying about being fat: you’re wasting your brain. The brain has the capacity to imagine things and the human body can make them come true. A brain imagined flying. Now we fly. A brain imagined portable fire. Now we use matches. A brain imagined a telescope, the iPhone, a space shuttle, ice cream. Freakin ice cream. A brain can imagine a solution to any problem you have ever had. And you're using yours to come up with ways to become skinnier.




20,864.


That’s the total number of people who died of hunger today. 98% of them were born and died in developing countries. According to World Food Programme there are 870 million hungry people in the world who rarely make the headlines. This group mostly consists of women, children and orphans. These people are not dying to be thin, they are dying because they are too thin. 






So start a revolution, instead hating your body: use it to do something worth remembering.
Make this world better.

Breathing just a little and calling it a life?




If you're having one of those days, when you just want to tuck in and stay home, this is for you. If you feel like you're dreams are just too far away. If you you're not sure you passed your semester exams. If you have a hangover. If you're lonely. If you don't know what to do with your life. This is for you.

This kid just passed away on May 20th. That was yesterday.

What he has left behind is something so beautiful and important my words can't do it justice.

His family has requested that anyone interested in helping change the future for those like Zach donate to the research fund set up on his behalf. Click here to donate or get more information about Children's Cancer Research.
