Fame to Reality

isn't it interesting to read blogs of famous people just writing about their lives like any other person. Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite authors and while i'm sitting her reading her blog, i feel like something isn't right. Sarah is explaining her everyday life...she's even talking about how she ahs to hurry because seh has to go make a salad! This makes me wonder, is she talking about her everyday life to make her fans feel like they know her personally or is this an advertising mechanism?

Accept.

I know it's been a while but I got caught up in life and didn't get a chance to slow down.


I've been working on this paper and it's on a virtual community...well.. this virtual community has actually become a hobby of mine. I enjoy reading it because it makes me feel better about my life... i mean worse about something but mostly it's a positive thing for me.
you're probably like what the heck is she talking about...well here it is: PrettyThin

i've learned that it's not proanorexia but it accepts those who are anorexic or bulimic and allows them to openly discuss basically anything they want including methods, diets, etc.

while i enjoy reading it because it makes me happy with my life and thankful that i dont have to worry about either of those eating disorders (yes, it sucks that they're probably alot tinier than me but i accept that), the bigger question is why are so many people against virtual communities like this?

is it because they thing it's hindering recovery?
if their eating disorders are part of who they are, they're never going to happy in their own skin (quite frankly...most people never are) so why do people try and force them into recovery? they clearly don't want to recover.

The eating disorder is in their eyes because they can never see themselves as beautiful...but why can't they? why can they not accept themselves for the way they are? and why do they believe that seeing bones are beautiful?
