My mom and me

I watched a documentary once about eating disorders and there was a teenage girl who talked about engaging in disordered behavior with her mom, how it was just normal for her.

It wasn’t until then I began to question my mother’s and my joint relationship with food.

Just now, my mom and I ate a double batch of rice krispy treats. Yes, we ate the whole thing. While watching Gilmore Girls. This kind of thing is normal for us. Sometimes I think my mom should go in for eating disorder treatment too.

Let me flee

I’m at the laundromat right now. I hate the laundromat. It’s hot and I feel like everyone is staring at me. However, it’s necessary, so I go. And it’s probably a good thing, it forces me to get out of the house. I really do hate it here, though. I feel grotesque. I feel like an oddity that people can’t help but sneak horrified glances at. I want to flee.
