And I don't think it lends itself to you being particularly fascinating or compelling.

Not to say that I am now, but I'd say that I'm a more stimulating person than I was then.

And so when I look around at all of this, it's a fucking full-time job trying to beat time and gravity.

And I just can't be arsed.

So for me, I did something called EMDR therapy, which is eye movement desensitization reprocessing therapy.

And that reshaped my attitude towards food and took food away from being rebellion or self-punishment or love or, you know, all the different things that you start to sublimate.

know regarding food and then uh so learning to see it as fuel and nourishment and pleasure and something good um learning to see my body as my best friend and understanding that this is my ride or die i had a one month house party when i was 23 and i'm still alive

It's because of this body.

It kept me going.

It kept me going through assault.

It kept me going through constant terror of this world.

It kept me going through crazy jobs, through learning martial arts for marble, all the accidents that I've had from how clumsy I am.

This body has taken me through so much.

And then I dare to disparage it for not looking like an image that was created by a man who wants to have sex with teenagers.

That's ultimately what we're all gunning towards here.

There are men who want to have sex with teenagers who have created a beauty standard that normalizes their desire to have sex with teenagers by making us all look or try to look like teenagers.

And that is deeply unacceptable to me.

And so understanding that and going...

no, actually, I think my body's worth more than this and she deserves a bit of love and care.

And that doesn't mean just also putting a bunch of alcohol and shit in your body.
