I love this.I’m totally not a body warrior. I’m not like oh yeah errybody love my body because I love it. I actually don’t really think about my body that much. It’s just there. It does some pretty cool stuff sometimes. I like putting pretty clothes and makeup on it because it’s fun, not because I need to…

Tashiro-jima (or Tashirojima), 田代島, is a small island in Japan. It has become known as “Cat Island” due to the large stray cat population that thrives as a result of the local belief that feeding cats will bring wealth and good fortune. The cat population is now larger than the human population on the island.
Ok wow can I move here? Seriously, cats> humans.
Will be there in December.
I must go here when go on our next holiday.
OMG. This is where crazy cat ladies go when they die.

When you grow up you outgrow people. And I’ve outgrown a lot of ppl in my time. So much so that I’m not even sure who are really my friends anymore. Grad school is changing me, and everyone around me is staying the same. Then there is Derek. Bless that boy for growing with me. Without him I wouldn’t be able to make it through this. He is my rock. I feel so understood, taken care of, and genuinely feel accepted around him. There are no false niceties, no pretences. I feel real. I feel like me.
I just wish I could be a better person for him. He deserves someone awesome. And I am working on myself. Sometimes, I just wish I could work harder. Self esteem isn’t built up quickly. And I have the lowest self esteem out of anyone I know.
How do you stop hating yourself?
My goal in life is to learn to love… me.

Sitting in a tent in Derek’s bedroom. Drinking beer. Eating S’mores. Watching Harry and the Henderson’s!
I need to realize that when ppl give relationship advice it’s based off their own preconceived notion of the person.
Friend: wrapped up “That’s who he is if you can’t deal with it, break up with him”
Friend: wrapped up “I know him better than you and if he doesn’t want to talk, don’t make him”
Did I listen to any of this advice, nope. So, I talked to Derek about everything, and you know what, he opened up about everything and we worked it out. I could feel the tension and weirdness falling off of us and us reverting back to the way it was.
I love Derek, and I’m not giving up on him.
