This is about life getting better.  Loving yourself.  Learning to accept and love your body.  This is about moving forward and enjoying life.  Laughing, no matter how horrible you feel, makes everything ok for a moment, so this is also about laughing.

I’m open about things society says not to be.  I’m recovering from an eating disorder (2 years behavior free!) and I’m a rape survivor.  I’ve also struggled with depression and anxiety.  I have EDS Type III (hypermobile) and chronic fatigue.  I’m real and I struggle, even if it doesn’t come across as such here.

My ask box is always open.  I reply privately, unless it is anon, the latter for obvious reasons.</description><title>DefyOdds</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @defyodds)</generator><link>http://defyodds.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>I edited my Darren post for non followers</title><description>&lt;p&gt;There are people who think that I said I&amp;#8217;m physically recovering from meeting Darren because I flipped out when I met him. But I didn&amp;#8217;t. I felt like I was talking to a friend of a friend. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And recovering? Yeah, on top of magically finding extra spoons for the day, I messed up my sleep schedule, so I&amp;#8217;m still exhausted and in pain. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Darren is awesome and a great a guy, but I didn&amp;#8217;t freak out. I was 10x more worried about standing the whole time then any other feeling.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://defyodds.tumblr.com/post/53330986216</link><guid>http://defyodds.tumblr.com/post/53330986216</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:24:19 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>finnemoron:

&lt;p&gt;the whole “mirror mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of them all” thing was created so that&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But, here is the first picture of me on my blog. Hold onto this while my body figures out how to like me again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(I’m saying that because I’m chronically ill, &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; because of fangirling) &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://defyodds.tumblr.com/post/53071947385</link><guid>http://defyodds.tumblr.com/post/53071947385</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:58:34 -0400</pubDate><category>darren criss</category><category>listen up</category><category>toronto</category><category>tour</category></item><item><title>hoshigumayuugi:

&lt;p&gt;“My request is for protection…in situations in which I cannot [enter]. In the locker room, boys’ night out or with your circle of male friends…
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
As a survivor &lt;b&gt;I want allies&lt;/b&gt; who don’t just protect me from the world, but &lt;b&gt;who work to make the world a place where rape and abuse are not things I have to fear.&lt;/b&gt;”
