Born to Survive
little monster. gleek. lanatic.

So, I'm Torrey. Born a California girl, always will be a California girl at heart. I have a huge heart that I frequently leave wide open when I shouldn't. I don't walk the earth for myself, I walk it so others will walk with me.

iatemyheartout:

Fat. You don’t understand. My eyes are different from yours. My eyes speak truth. They see the real me; the nastiness I am made of. They see the fat clinging to every limb, from every angle, bouncing with every move. Fat fat fat. It’s there. I see it, I feel it, I know it.

Okay, I’m not reblogging this because I think it of myself, or at least I don’t anymore, but I used to. I really used to believe it with every fiber of my being. And yes, for those of you who don’t understand eating disorders, this is what the thoughts are like. And they never fully go away, you really just have to learn how to control them. This is why people get triggered by comments about weight or being skinny or not being skinny. About food sizes and calories and diets. People are triggered by these things and I wish more people were sensitive to that, because I am a girl who is recovered from an eating disorder, and for those of you out there who don’t understand eating disorders and don’t feel like you would ever have one, you would be surprised. I didn’t think I would have one either, and I got caught right in the middle of one. I’m not saying all of you will, and even if you never do have an eating disorder…. please please please just take posts like this one seriously because eating disorders are a real problem, and I really feel they aren’t given the amount of weight that they should. This is such a serious issue.

So I added a support page to my blog, I really suggest you all look at it.

http://throwingmyheartinyourhands.tumblr.com/support

^^ Seriously, please read what I wrote there because I really, REALLY take this seriously. I will talk to anyone from anywhere with any kind of an issue and help them through it, because I know what it’s like to feel like you have no one to talk to. 

And I swear, I genuinely WANT to be that person you talk to. Like so many people think no one wants to hear it or no one cares. I CARE, and I really, really want to hear it. 

If you need help, or just someone to rant to or talk to about anything…. I’m here. For all you.

Anonymous: This isn't on the list, but..how about, Dear Girls that are going through what I have been through?

…This is a really good one, Anon. Of course I’ll do this.

Dear Girls Who Are Going Through What I Am Going Through,

You are strong. You are fighters. You are skinny enough. You are good enough. And you can get yourself out of that dark place. I know it doesn’t seem like that right now. I know what your mind is telling you. I know it’s telling you to keep going because you don’t deserve better, to keep going because you aren’t there yet, to keep going because you aren’t good enough or skinny enough or pretty enough. But here is me telling you, wherever you are, whatever you might be crying about each night, that it’s going to be get better. But when I say that, I really, really mean it. But there’s a key part to that being true. And that key part is, you have to believe. You have to believe in hope and happiness, and so many things that sometimes feel like they don’t exist. You have to believe happiness and happy endings and love are possible, and have blind faith. You have to be brave. 

I know it’s easier said than done. I know you’re gonna wanna crawl back into that dark place sometimes and sometimes that dark place is going to seem a lot safer than being brave. But you also have to know that it’s normal. It’s normal to want to hide in your dark place. And sometimes, it’s okay to want to hide there. You don’t need to hate yourself for wanting that because it’s what your mind is telling you. You don’t need to hate yourself because you have a problem or be scared of what people think, as terrifying as this stuff is sometimes. All you need to do, is tell yourself that YOU, yourself, can get out of this. YOU can fight this. YOU can destroy all of the demons in your head. And sometimes they might want to creep up on you. You might get out of that dark place for a long time, and suddenly, it all tries to come back. But if you keep fighting, keep putting up your arrms on the inside of your mind, I promise, I ABSOLUTELY promise, you are going to be okay.

I’ll say this again, because I know you don’t necessarily believe it, and you don’t hear it enough.

You are good enough. You are beautiful. You are skinny. And you are loved. Want to know why? Because you are loved by ME. And no matter who you are, what you feel like you have a problem with, or where you come from… I will always listen. On Anon, off Anon.  Some people believe in having an ego. I believe in having a heart. And my heart goes out to all of you.

Keep fighting. You’ll get there. Trust. And baby steps.

-Torrey.
