Body Image

Written by Sean on Wednesday, July 7, 1999

The eternal fight is about wanting to be something or someone we’re not… Never happy with our self image. That’s one direct link to what leads me to think that self-injury is not an option… First you want to be a left below the knee amputee, then a left above the knee, then a double above knee amp, then well, you realize you want to be a woman. There can’t be an end till we figure out why it is that we’re so disatisfied with body image. What exactly in our past led us to decide to run away from who we are?

I remember when as a kid I would play in the back alley of the appartment and day dream that I was in fact the lost child of some rich and glamourous prince, that the Rolls Royce would come by in the back alley and pick me up, and I’d be taken away from my life… Now, that goes backa ways. Frankly, my childhood wasn’t all that bad. Wasn’t all that good either. Something(ZZZZ) in there led me to just want to escape. I guess I’m still running away.
