Food for thought?

I was surfing the net, getting my daily dose of fashion news when I came across this youtube video about the model Vlada Roslyakova. In the video, they acknowledge her as their thinspiration princess. Being the mountain tortoise that I am, I went to google the word "thinspiration" and what I found was quite shocking. According to wikipedia.org, thinspiration is a word derived from people who view their "thinspiration" as people they want to be as thin as. This people are usually "Pro-ana" which means they promote having anorexia nervosa as a lifestyle choice.

When I read the articles, I was like what the @#$%&*! These people are crazy, they even have blogs to "help" their fellow "Pro-ana"s lose weight (to skeletal proportions) and suggest ideas to avoid detections by doctors and families. I mean I'm always ranting on and on about going on diet (which never happens) but what these people are doing borders on insanity. Sometimes you never get some people who drive themselves to self-destruction.

A Realisation

This post is in relation to the discovery I've made on this one person.

Well, it started out as something I did to pacify someone. But somehow, I made a startling realisation.

I never knew you felt that way about the things in life and the many many restrictions you face on almost daily basis. I somehow managed to understand you more and I feel somewhat guilty about the petty views I've made regarding your personality. I will never understand your character and you'll probably never understand mine as we've different views regarding our place in the social spectrum. However, this discovery has allowed me a glimpse into a life that I will not have. I'm happy with what I'm given and glad that I'm molded like that. It's still an insightful view that really leaves lots of food for thought...

P.S. Simin, I've finally updated k. I'll try to update more often. Did I mention that I simply adore my juniors.
