Wouldn't It Be Such A Shift Of Perspective For Fatphobes If They Could See What Goes On In Our Daily

Wouldn't it be such a shift of perspective for fatphobes if they could see what goes on in our daily lives as plus sized people?

I'm over here trying to convince myself it's okay to eat lunch and that I don't have to hide my food from my family members. My 120lb home girl? She just had pasta, a hot dog, a piece of bread and half of a bagel.

WHERE DO YOU SKINNY FOLK PUT IT ALL?!

Can we normalize listening to songs from TV shows and movies you watched as a kid? Cause you can't tell me the Descendants tracklist doesn't SLAP and I'm about to go through ALL OF IT.

Say that I WONT.

That I CANT.

That I'll NEVER BELONG.

AN OUTCAST FROM THE BLESSED.

And I'm telling you telling you no.

Cause you don't understand that...

I'LL NEVER BE CALM. OR CONTENT.

In this war with myself.

GET READY FOR THE ENDING.

The red light is blinking.

I've done so damn much but...

MY SELF WORTH KEEPS SINKING.

I'm constantly working to make my life...

PERFECT.

But lying on my death bed...

WILL ALL THIS BE WORTH IT?

I'll spend my whole life overcoming...

MY DOUBT.

I want it to matter when my heart goes out.

ASSEMBLE SOME PUNKS.

Play a few shows.

Maybe for a moment I won't feel so low.

Then suddenly the labor pays off...

and I'm able to soak up the feeling of...

being a bit stable...

relieved of the burden of never giving up...

but I'm kidding myself.

IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH.

Calling all punk rockers!

I want to expand my knowledge of punk music and my band roster! I'm looking for one that's loud and rambunctious and all the good stuff but doesn't disrespect Christians or Jesus Christ. I don't necessarily want a band that sings about Him but I want one that doesn't slander either. Leave me some recs down in the comments if you have any!

I have no idea how this concert was free because it ROCKED HARD. I woke up with my neck sore as frick from headbanging, and that's when you know it's good.

But even more than that, Kevin Young has something to say. His sermons throughout the show were fantastic. People were led to Christ that night through the power of metal. People still think it summons demons, when it drives them out! You just gotta find the right band, and these men have something special. They spoke against suicide, against addiction, against depression. He reminded us that, because we woke up this morning, God still has a plan for our lives. The Christian rock scene is my home and I'd never belong anywhere else quite as well.

A bunch of Jesus loving freaks. Like me.

After the show I got the chance to speak to the band. I was explaining my appreciation to them for being leading forces in the Christian alternative movement and for making it easier to be so different. To be rejected by both rock elitists and the religious. Young interrupted me and just opened his arms. I didn't have to explain. He already knew.

Rockers are family. But Christian rockers?

We are held by a bond of brokenness and eternity: the outstretched arms of Jesus.

(The band saw my "Long Live the Rebels" shirt I painted and posted. They also complimented my look, so my diy and fashion dreams are pretty much complete at this point lol)

Finally got around to doing the back a few weeks ago, then finally got around to taking pictures of it five minutes ago, and now it's complete!

I doodled this fun yet meaningful little design, really liked it, then ended up painting it on a shirt. This line of events tends to occur frequently with me....
