I’m the girl who tries to be nice to everyone then gets taken advantage of. I’m the girl who tries to look pretty and it’s never good enough. I’m the girl who acts like she’s happy then goes home and wishes to be gone. I’m the girl who takes harsh words, act like they’re nothing, then goes home and cries. I’m the girl who tries to get her point across and could never find the right words. I’m the girl who has more depth to her than everyone thinks. I’m the girl who hides from the harsh eyes. I’m the girl who wouldn’t care if you gave me a shitty gift as long as you thought of me. I’m the girl who prays that someone will finally understand. I’m the girl who gets happy over the little things. I’m the girl that people misinterpret.

04/15/1912, 2AM, North Atlantic.
100 years ago, the RMS Titanic set sail carrying 2,223 people.
And exactly 100 years ago today, Titanic sank at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean causing the death of 1,514 souls after colliding with an iceberg a few hours earlier.
Today we remember all those who went down with the ship.
RIP Titanic and its victims.

So ready for a cruise and going somewhere new. I have never been to Puerto Rico or anywhere we are cruising to. staying two extra days after we get back from the cruise in San Juan in a resort on the ocean. ahh. i don’t even know how many days but I am counting down!
I think the main, horrifying thing about these airbrushed pictures being distributed, is there has been a lot of media hype calling this beautiful girl fat. It’s like, the media refuses to let her be proud of her body. They’ve even changed her face shape, making her almost unrecognisable. We always rant about how airbrushed photos affect us, but imagine how they must affect the people being airbrushed. Imagine feeling super confident and good about yourself after a photo shoot, and then seeing the end result and realising you weren’t good enough for the magazine. It must be crushing.
I remember, when my friend was practising photo shopping, she took a photo of my face and airbrushed it without my permission or even warning me. Personally, I found the un-airbrushed photo of myself more attractive, since it looked like me, but the airbrushed version was so disheartening. She’d changed the shape of my nose, elongated my face and taken out the scars by my eyes and the scar on my chest from my operation. She only did it as light hearted practice for her art exam, but it crushed me. She didn’t realise, and perhaps the photo-editors don’t realise, that by airbrushing out all the little imperfections on my face she made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. The little scars and freckles and the bump in my nose were all things that made me, me, and she took them away.
Similarly, by changing Jennifer Lawrence’s body, they’re telling her that no matter how successful she is, no matter how talented she is, she will not be good enough because of the things about her that make her who she is.
And I just find that sad.Why are people so afraid of curves? Ugh, this is disgusting, but I can’t say I’m surprised.
Stop all this overly abused photoshop madness and let a girl be!
Jennifer Lawrence seems so cool and is obviously a babe. WITHOUT ANYONE’S “HELP!” *edit* Saw the comments saying that the original pic is actually the one that got published. Now that rules! Either way, abused photoshop is still an issue that should be called out!I have and will never hate a woman because she’s skinny. What I do hate is Photoshop and the fact that even Victoria’s Secret supermodels get their waist, thighs, asses retouched in ads, catalogues, online, etc.
I wish we could just use Photoshop for scars and/or zits. It’d be a lot less pressure… for me at least.
She’s a babe. No matter how they try and “fix her”.
