I would not be thinking about whether some man liked it or not.

And so that's how I've managed to overcome that is really like intellectualizing and understanding that this is a whole process.

This vessel is going to be with me until the day I die and I'm so grateful to it and I'm so sorry to my body for everything that I said and did to it.

Shame on me.

I understand that I was mentally ill.

I understand that it was an eating disorder.

I understand that it was amorphous and pervasive and insidious and even obvious cultural programming.

I maintain responsibility for what I did and I maintain accountability for what I did.

And that helps me know that I won't do it again.

I feel very, very, very passionately about women.

I feel very hopeful for us.

I love women so deeply and I would be dead without them.

And I

deeply deeply regret my many misogynist years in my early 20s and in my teens where I was so blinded and I really lost out on women and and I also care very deeply for men and I want I want men to be happier in this world I believe there is a better way for all of us to coexist I feel as though I I witnessed some of that culture growing up in Spain in the 90s and the different way that you know even nudity was just so chill mm-hmm

It was such a lovely thing to be able to see people with all kinds of different bodies, unashamed, enjoying it.

Old tits, young tits, balls everywhere, you know, to the window, to the wall.

And it not being such a big deal and people having community and people being more involved with one another and food being such a pleasurable thing.

You don't rush through food to get back to your laptop or your phone.

You sit and you really eat a meal.

You have a fucking nap in the afternoon.
