Into the dream
Beauty and inspiration. This blog is primarily to share images that inspire and motivate me, but also as a place to openly discuss issues I face in day-to-day life.

I want to throw my computer out the window because I see so many girls on Tumblr who think they’re ugly, but I would kill to look half as good as them.
I’m so ugly I couldn’t ever even put my picture up on here.

Spread Love Like Violence: the number of pro-skinny blogs on here is worrying.
seriously girls, you are all beautiful just the way you are.
want to know the secret to being skinny. Eat what you like, but eat in moderation. snack on fruit cause they take more calories to burn than they would put into your body. exercise, but don’t excerise obsessively, and stay off the…
I really disagree with your post for one main reason - “guys like girls with curves” - which is something I see people saying A LOT. I’m not trying to be aggressive/a troll/a crazy bitch, but I’d like to present some ideas that I myself have about pro-skinny stuff. First of all, we should strive to make a positive body image for ourselves and our physical and mental health, not because we want boys to like us. Secondly, my boyfriend loves skinny girls with boyish frames, and I know guys who like their girls curvy, and others who like them obese. I’m attracted to skinny guys and girls. There’s no real ideal shape since we all have our own preferences. Different strokes. Thirdly, we all have different motivations for posting the content we do, and not all of them are sinister. I myself have a blog full of skinny, beautiful women, because that is the aesthetic I love and use in my art.
I have body dysmorphia, but not because I’ve been looking at said images (which is a more recent thing), but because I was teased for years for being too skinny and ugly by girls who said things like “only dogs want bones”. After gaining weight, I am trying to lose it again but through healthy ways (such as what you have described in your post), and I’m sure many people who are pro-skinny are healthy about it too. Models like Hanne Gaby Odeile helped me realise that you don’t need to be classically good-looking to be beautiful.
I hope this didn’t come across as an attack, because I don’t mean it to be. I just want to put it out there that not all pro-skinny blogs are evil and linked with eating disorders.

Why do some groups that work for the welfare of companion animals not care about the welfare of all animals?
I know this is not the kind of thing that I post about on here, but I’d like to occasionally rant on here every now and then.
Looking for work within the animal welfare industry I found this in an article from a nation-wide pet welfare organisation.
Did you know that some well known Australian animal groups are actually campaigning to ban you from owning your pet? Did you know that some animal activist groups are trying to convert your kids into becoming vegans?
Did you know that some Australian animal groups want to stop you from using natural products like wool and leather in favour of synthetic products based on oil? That they want to ban you from eating your BBQ sausages, giving your kid a glass of milk and having eggs and bacon for breakfast?
It just baffles me that so many people will devote their lives to working for animals, but only if they’re cute*. I’m not usually someone who wants to pick fights for other people who want to make positive change for animals, but I can’t stand this mentality, especially as they are trying to belittle the work of people who actually give a fuck about animals’ rights.
Also lots of shelters and rescue groups seem to like to have sausage sizzles to raise money. Why not just bake some vegan goodies (and don’t tell the general public that they’re vegan until after they compliment them on how great they are)? I don’t want to eat a cow to save a cat.
Some people.
* For the record I think cows are adorable but most people don’t seem to think so or we wouldn’t eat as many as we do. Case in point:

Hey guys, sorry I’ve been so absent. I’ve had a few intense, possibly life-changing things happen. Expect some posts from me again coming up though :)

thehmlog-deactivated20120929: "Tag! You're it! The rules are to state 10 random facts about yourself. Then, go to ten blogs and tell them that they are it."
Ten random facts huh? It’s hard to think of ten facts randomly, but here goes:
- I’m a vegetarian and have been for five years or so now
- My beauty product weapon of choice is MAC fluidline eyeliner in blacktrack. I pretty much never leave the house without buttloads of eyeliner on.
- My favourite band is The Birthday Party
- My favourite model probably has to be Aymeline Valade, but I also adore Freja.
- I have one older brother who is 25, I am 21.
- I am a chocolate addict but I don’t like candy (haven’t eaten any in years)
- I don’t have any tattoos, and I don’t currently plan on getting any. My boyfriend has 6, most of which are stick-and-poke.
- I don’t have any pets since my cat (20 years old!) passed away a few months ago. I would really like a dog or cat for companionship though.
- My favourite fashion magazine is i-D
- I used to have hair down to my hips, now it’s a Mia Farrow-esque cut
