Questa sono io .

Voglio mostrarvi le mie cicatrici , i miei segni , le mie smagliature , che per tanto tempo ho odiato e solo adesso ho capito di poter amare .

Magari non si vedranno molto ma segnano buona parte del mio corpo , sono segni che non andranno mai via , che mi ricordano del mio passato .

Smagliature dovute al mio continuo cambio di peso , cicatrici dovute al mio dolore , a cadute che fin da piccola non sapevo sopportare .

Ho capito quanto fosse bello il mio corpo solo qualche tempo fa , quando mi sono resa conto che tutti questi segni creavano un disegno unico , che nessuno può essere come me .

La società ci impone dei canoni estetici che sono innaturali e noi tendiamo a non accettare più ogni nostro " difetto " se così lo si può definire , eppure è proprio ciò che ci differenzia , che ci rende unici al mondo .

È cambiato il mondo , perché non lo posso fare anche io ? Perché non dovrei amare ogni mia singola particolarità ?

Ero riuscita a farmi amare da un uomo , ma io non ne ero in grado . Lui quelli che io definivo difetti li definiva bellezze . Mi sono resa conto di saper amare gli altri , ma adesso tocca a me .

Vorrei che anche voi , facesse lo stesso , prendete i vostri "difetti" , fotografateli , raccontate la vostra storia , perché è unica e merita di essere ascoltata , amiamoci perché è solo partendo da noi stessi che saremo in grado di cambiare le cose .

My name’s Laura, and this is my body. I get acne in all the weird places, my body hair grows back WAY TOO QUICK, but I’ve got thunder thighs Marilyn Monroe would be proud of. ☀️🥰 Last night I had the honour of watching @theroaringgirls show #BeachBodyReady. I laughed, I cried and I felt EMPOWERED. As an advocate for body positivity, this was the show for me. I rocked up in a crop top and shorts for the first time in a long time and I felt like I could conquer the world, and then some! And to show you how powerful it made me feel, I brought back the #DontHateTheShake! The Roaring Girls make me SO proud to be a part of the Hull University Drama Department - nice work, ladies! 🎶 Can’t Stop the Feeling: Justin Timberlake #universityofhull #hull #theatre #bodypositive #bodypositivity #bopo #thisismybody #dance #dancer https://www.instagram.com/p/ByN_zjpF87q/?igshid=4co8p8w073yk

I think my artist block is linked to fear. Fear of being seen. Fear of my art as an extension of myself being judged and found inadequate. Fear of saying something true with my work instead of just creating something calm and pretty. Take this piece for example, an idea of capturing body dysmorphia on paper. Stark. Maybe a little alarming. Almost a caricature of a body that reflects how the mind sees its vessel. After completing this one 5 years ago I just couldn’t bring myself to create another. And now that I am posting it I am afraid that someone will report it even though the nipples are clearly a representation of nipples instead of real nipples and I will have to argue with Instagram or Facebook or Tumblr and fight for the validity of my artistic vision. #freethenipple But here we go.

Sunday Reflection – 3 June 2018 – The Solemnity of Corpus Christi

There is a claim that the Adoro Te Devote, our morning offering today, was the prayer that St Thomas Aquinas addressed to Christ as he was dying.   The claim remains doubtful, (in the sense that it is a highly intricate prayer and it would be difficult to write whilst very ill) but the account that his biographer, William of Tocco, gives of the holy Doctor’s last moments of life is, in itself, an extraordinary testimony of Eucharistic devotion and reveals the source of the doctrine that, directly or indirectly, inspired the most beautiful Eucharistic texts of the Latin Church, including the Adoro Te Devote.

“Feeling his strength failing and sensing the nearness of his departure from this world, the holy Doctor, with great devotion, requested the viaticum of the Christian pilgrimage, the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. After the abbot and the monks had brought the Eucharist to him, he prostrated himself on the ground, weak in body but strong in spirit and went, with tears, to meet his Lord. Then, in the presence of the Sacrament of the Body of Christ, as is the custom with every Christian at the moment of death, he was asked if he believed that in that consecrated host was the true Son of God, born of the womb of the Virgin, suspended from the scaffold of the Cross, who died and rose for us on the third day. With a free voice and great devotion, mingled with tears, he replied: “I truly believe and hold as certain that He is true God and true man, Son of God and of the Virgin Mother and I believe with my heart and profess with my lips, that which the priest has asked me of this most Holy Sacrament.” And after some words of devotion (at this point it is believed St Thomas quoted the Adoro), receiving the Sacrament, he exclaimed: “I receive You, price of the Redemption of my soul, for love of which I have studied, watched and worked, I have preached and taught You, I have said nothing against You nor am I obstinate in my opinion, if in some part I have spoken poorly of this Sacrament, I submit all to the correction of the Holy Roman Church, in who obedience, I pass from this life.”

May we also, at the end of life, be able to say the same as St Thomas Aquinas!

Let us be transported to the same climate of expectation and joyful hope as we feel in the Adoro Te Devote with these last words of the Lauda Sion, the Eucharistic hymn/sequence also written by St Thomas Aquinas. (Fr Raneiro Cantalamessa O.F.M. “This is My Body”)

Source of all we have or know, feed and lead us here below. Grant that with Your saints above, Sitting at the feast of love, We may see You face to face.

Amen Alleluia!

Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, we Adore and Love You!

So today I had someone in the entertainment and acting industry tell me to “lose the weight” before trying to get work in Los Angeles. Honestly, I’m livid. First of all, this is what my body looks like. Pretty sure I’m average, and don’t need to lose any weight. Second of all, now might be a perfect time to announce that I am someone who has battled with an eating disorder not otherwise specified since I was 15 freaking years old on and off. Some days are harder than others but I am fighting hard to stay in recovery and take REAL care of myself. To be actually HEALTHY. This is my body now, and I will NOT apologize for it. This is one of the many reasons I’m working in this industry. So that my voice will he heard. No one deserves to be told “lose the weight”, even if they’re legitimately unhealthy and need to eat better or workout more. They need to be told TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. For the love all that is good and pure in this freaking world. I will not stop pursuing this career, and I will not compromise who I am for ANYONE. It has taken me years to learn to love the body God has given me, and I am not about to let that change now. I can get work without making myself skin and bones. And I am fully aware that this world won’t tend to my emotions or heart and that is fine, bring it on, be as brutal as you want. But I’ve been fighting my whole life for what I believe is right, and that’s not about to stop now. I won’t stop until my voice is heard. I won’t stop ever. I will help as much as I possibly can others who can relate to the struggles I have faced. I will make it known that HEALTHY IS THE NEW SKINNY. Get over it society, because you have NOT seen the last of me. Can’t wait to take you on LA. You’re in for a treat with me. 😉
