It’s insane how quickly the internet went back to glorifying thinness like it’s some kind of achievement
One minute everyone was talking about healing their relationship with their body and the next we’re back to romanticizing dramatic weight loss and acting like it is the ultimate life achievement. As if women don’t already spend enough of their lives thinking about their bodies.
What frustrates me most is how normalized all of this still is. People will genuinely ruin entire summers because they think their stomach should look different. They will stand at the beach pulling at their bikini bottoms instead of actually enjoying the fact that they are alive and surrounded by people they love. That’s heartbreaking.
Because life is happening right now. In messy apartments with your friends. In late night swims. In eating dessert because you felt like it. In laughing so hard you forget what your body even looks like for a second. All of it is worth so much more than finally fitting into whatever body trend the internet is currently obsessed with.
Your body is not ruining your life. The obsession with perfection probably is.
