Today I shall rant,

and rant I shall.

For those of you who know me, are aware that I am not a stick figure.

No sir.

Nor am I a heffer at that.

But my question:

where is the line drawn on too skinny and too thick?

can such a line even be created?

I feel as though everyday I am being bombarded with different things telling me how I should be.

To dress,

to do my hair,

to weigh,

to make up my face,

my nails, 

my teeth,

my skin,

even my personality.

With all these social networking sites I feel as though the pressure is everywhere.

Pinterest, mind you I love it, might possibly be the worst of all.

boards and boards filled with outfits I will never own,

crafts I will never do,

model children I may never have,

proposals so extravagant you cry,

dishes I will never have time to cook,

wedding decor that costs a fortune,

and perfectly fit bodies I will never achieve.

It's madness.

Why should I walk away from my computer feeling so bad about the way I am living?

I shouldn't.

And neither should you, because I know I am not the only one feeling this way.

It's as though the world is giving us a false sense of reality that will never be possible to have.

So, I'm putting my foot down.

I'm not saying I will ban my Pinterest, Facebook or Twitter.. because, lets be honest, I love them all.

But I will remember that I am not a product of the world,

that I am who I am and I won't let outside influences effect the way I feel about myself,

because after all...

Amen J.T.
