Why does the media just talk about losing weight? What about the others that want to put on weight?

Have you noticed how the media always shows stories about people trying to lose weight, but never about people that are trying to gain weight?It is most common in teenage girls, I would say.And I can't speak for everyone; but it does get kind of frustrating when people get annoyed about others complaining about being too skinny.They say they get jealous, but I'm sure they wouldn't if they got...

It's amazing how much can change in a year... (but i still have questions!)

So, at the moment I'm quite surprised at how much can change in a year.This time last year I was with someone, I was stress-free; I had a lot of spare time to myself. Life was simply bliss!Today, a year later I'm single, I'm starting to stress over the upcoming exams, and the spare time I do have, I spend studying for TEE. Life is quite chaotic.I’m currently confused about some things. A year...

Vacating in Melbourne + Questions

So, I'm in Melbourne at the moment and vacating away from my life in Perth. But it seems the more you are away from home, the more you realise how much you miss things. I have only been away for well, not even four days and already I miss my friends and family.Right now I am sitting by a window 17 floors above the ground and I hate heights...I have also realised that I don't like time difference....

a piece of the cake

So, it's not actually a journal entry but part of a story I have recently started to write.Enjoy!I didn’t want to go on, I wanted to just let him hold me in his strong protecting arms and make it all go away. I wanted this never to have happened. I wanted to go back six months and just put the clock on pause. But I couldn’t.“Zach, that’s not what I mean. I don’t want to lose you but... I...
