I really don't care
what I look like
I don't care
what the sight of
the shape of my body
makes anyone else
think or feel
I really don't give a fuck
I don't owe you beauty
I don't have to smile for you
I don't have to
dress for success
or to disguise my figure
or to preserve my virtue
and you can fuck off
Introduction
I was raised in a cult. I left when I went to college, but didn't really process any of that. I became Catholic and have been slowly losing my patience with the Church over the sex abuse crisis. When my successful weight loss triggered painful traumatic events from my past, I realized that the dysfunctional religion I was raised in had hurt me as much as my dysfunctional family. Now I'm smashing idols to see if any treasure remains among the rubble. It's a messy process.
