Picnic

A new spoken-word piece asserting my own refusal to write anything resembling the more common pieces on eating disorders, despite being in recovery from one, if only thanks to my survivor's guilt.

intense. thank you for sharing.

oh, and i agree, i'd like to rate your videos, too, but well, i can also just comment. ;-)

intense... yeah, this can be a rough one.

I really love comments, but I'm not a fan of ratings. I think I'd obsess over them too much, and numbers after all are worth less than I sometimes think. comments are more "qualitative" feedback, so I guess I prefer them. sorry if it's annoying to people!

Thank you. I would rate it a five for courage.

[missmarymax]
