“You cannot transform yourself… All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.”
—Eckhart Tolle (via nirvikalpa)
“But just because you bury something, that doesn’t mean it stops existing. Those feelings, they’d been there all along. All that time. I had to face it.”

Felice spured on my anorexia and I ended up in IP three times. I went to weber for modelling advice and she told me i was ‘a good frame’ and ‘would get work like that but not to change’ and I was a BMI of around 14. I was fainting constantly. I couldn’t walk up the stairs without blacking out and…
This is so sad, but I am glad that this person came to the realizaton that they did.
People literally worship Felice Fawn, and this is a huge problem. Even more problematic is that so much of the transference that’s being misplaced onto Felice seems motivated by the way that she looks. Yes, she is rather beautiful physically, or at least I think so—- but since when does appearance make someone worthy of such idolatry? The fact that this is so, and that it is such a big issue regarding the so-called”snowflakes” (Felice, Ali, Koti, et al), causes me great concern. When physical beauty is considered the sign and the seal of a person’s value, well, that just isn’t right. Physical bodies are such fickle, mercurial things—- if your whole worth is based on appearance, doesn’t that imply you lose your worth as soon as your beauty fades? Doesn’t that negate much of the second half of one’s life, when the body starts to wear down as the aging process kicks in?
When it comes to these pretty Tumblr girls, what I keep seeing girls say about them, time and time again, isn’t “I want to look like her”, but “I want her life”, or “I want to be her”. It seems to be too often assumed that if someone is physically attractive, than they are possessed of goodness and virtue, and can do no wrong. Looks are no proper basis for such transference. In fact, nothing is. No human being is as infallible as some fans seem to think of Felice as being, and as soon as you make that mistaken assumption about someone, you’re headed into some very thorny territory.
