I may be ashamed of what this disease makes me do, but I will not feel ashamed for having it. I, and so many others, am and are victims, after all. And that’s why I don’t hide the sugar-spots on my peel. Feeling shame and hiding it are two completely different monsters. We have to allow ourselves to reach out, even if the only way we know how (or are able) is the refusal to paint ourselves up in concealer – to paint ourselves up like we’re healthy and normal. We must choose to fight, if only in the smallest of ways. Life can bruise us for any number of reasons – but it’s up to us as to whether those bruises are from fighting or just allowing ourselves to rot away. We can’t let ourselves rot. We’re far too beautiful to spend our lives locked in bathrooms, tending to our bruises in the tightness of silence. ~ Kit Rempala on The Manifest-Station again!
