How I did it: I decided to start a blog using Wordpress, as lots of the blogs I read are there and it seemed fairly user-friendly, even for someone like me without much in the way of technological skills.It was easy to set up and write my first post - now I have to work on updating regularly!http://astraiastar.wordpress.com/ Read how I did it…
something I want to do all that much, but it’s something I probably need to do, because I get dehydrated so much. I never drink anything that doesn’t contain large amounts of caffeine.
And it doesn’t matter. I’ve managed to minimize the influence of those forms of media that place an inordinate amount of focus on one’s appearance on my life.
I am more than simply my body. And bodies can be beautiful at any shape or size.
