If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe.
• Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs.
• At 5’9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.
• If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
• Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”
i’m always reblogging this.
I’ve reblogged this a million times and will ALWAYS reblog it. She is so beautiful…It’s a great message.
this is deep
Person #1
This is how I’m really feeling.
You told me best friends.
You told me forever.
You told me sisters.
You told me eternity.
We’d always plan to grow up, get married, and move away.
We planned on going to college and seeing the world.
We always planned everything.
Together.
But somehow the coarse changed..
The winds of life teetered our compass ever so slightly and our paths were changed.
You went one way and I went the other.
Somehow along the way, we completely lost sight of each other.
Is it dark where you are?
Are there big, scary monsters after you?
Where I am, things are pretty clear.
Sometimes it rains but there’s always a beautiful rainbow that follows.
I guess my change in paths was worth it.
Was yours?
Person #2

I hate you. That is all. The end.
Person # 3
This is how I’m really feeling
You.. oh you. Here I am writing you.. Again. Fourth time?
Maybe. Anyways, what do I even have to say about you??
You just.. You make me wanna believe in people again but you’re the reason I don’t.
Sometimes.. I just hate you so bad but others, I miss you.
Not being with you, oh gosh no!
But being your friend.
I miss laughing together, I miss joking together, I even miss being serious together.
Because I know.. deep down.. and maybe it’s way deep down.. I see a light in you.
I see hope.
I see you being a good friend, a good husband, and a good father.
You’ve just gotta commit yourself.
Often times, I remember the last image I have of you.
That’s nothing but a bunch of filthy lies, wasted time, and broken promises.
That’s why I lose hope in all humanity. Again.
I have blind faith in you..
Every time I expect you to let me down, you do.
So congratulations! You are the number one reason why I don’t trust anyone.
Happy?

Maybe it needed to happen. Maybe we needed to end things. Maybe I miss you. Maybe I think about you every day. Maybe I want to be in your arms again. Maybe I want to kiss you. Maybe my heart aches whenever I’m not around you. Maybe I’m dying without you. Maybe I love you. Or maybe.. I’m nothing without you. I’m so lost and confused. Maybe I need you. I do need you. Now. I need your touch, your taste.. you. I need everything about you. I don’t know where to go without you. I’m so lost.. Please, help me find my way. I’ve done nothing but plead for help but none has come. Has no one seen my SOS? Is my lighthouse burnt out? I’m doing my best to go on with my life, but without you.. it’s pointless. This isn’t how it’s supposed to be.. We’re supposed to be together. We’re supposed to be talking. We’re supposed to be happy. Are you happy? Are you in a good mood or have a good attitude about things?? All I ever do is worry about you.. I just want to know how you are, baby. Please let me know how you are. I’m scared for you. I don’t want you to be bitter about things. I don’t think you are but I don’t know. I am. I know I am. My hurt turns anger, then anger turns to bitterness.. then bitterness.. turns to loneliness. I’m lonely without you. I could be in a sea full of people and still feel so alone. Yeah, I’m going to sit here and complain. I love you.. Can’t you see? I’ve changed in a good way.. You just haven’t seen it yet. You only saw my appearance. I’m sorry that it’s not enough. I’m sorry that I’m not good enough. When you met me, I had no clue and no testimony. But now.. I have a clue and I have a testimony. I have a.. rock solid? No.. rocks can break. A steel testimony. Nothing and no one could ever break it. Don’t you want that? What do you want in a girl? Do you want her to be pretty, funny, and nice? I can be that. Or do you want her to be strong, beautiful and supportive? I can be that. Or would you rather her be clueless, blonde, and airheaded? I can be that too. I can be anything you want me to be.. But what I can’t be is the same girl you fell in love with two years ago. I’m not her. I don’t want to be her. She was sad.. depressed. Lonely. Suicidal. She didn’t have a clue in life and no testimony whatsoever. She didn’t know anything. She didn’t know anymore. But now. Now I’m stronger. I’m who I want to be.. I’m beautiful, I’m strong, and I have a sure fire testimony that I absolutely love. Baby.. look at me. Look at the new me. You’ll see that you absolutely love it.. I know you will. If you could only know what I’ve been through in the past two years.. You’d be proud of me. SO proud. Please see the new me.. Please accept it. I just need you to take a step back and get to know me. Maybe that’s what we’re supposed to be doing right now. All we need is communication so we can. You’ll love the new me.. I know it. I know it. I love the new you.. It’s just.. I feel like I don’t know you. You’ve changed. I know you’ve changed in a good way, but some of the things you’ve said to me.. I don’t know. You would have never said them before.. What changed? Baby, please tell me what changed.. I just miss you.. That’s all. I know we can work this out. I know it. We will talk again and work this out. I know it. I love you, baby.. Love doesn’t run.
Just remember:
You are beautiful. You are strong. You are much more than this world leads on. You are important. You matter. You mean something to someone. You are everything to someone. You can change someones life. You can make a difference. You are loved. You are someone special. You.. are a Daughter of God. No matter what anyone tells you, you are important. You are great in the eyes of God. Even if the world is beating you senseless, you will find the strength to rise above all and say, “Back off” You will remember who you are. You are a daughter of a King. You are so blessed in this life. You are so amazing. You will go far, very far in this life. Baby girl, you are a child of our loving Heavenly Father. You need to remember this. You need to remember you are not alone. He will be there every step of the way. You need to keep going. Pay those who don’t matter any attention, they don’t deserve it. Don’t throw your love away like it’s extra change. Save everything you have for that one special person. The one who will treat you right. The one will make you feel so alive and in love. The one will keep your standards. The one will take you to the Temple. The one you’ll be sealed to for time and all eternity. Be sure to keep your heels, head, and standards held high. Be who you are and stand for what you believe in. He is always there for you. He loves you beyond measure. Remember, baby girl, that you are beautiful and you are strong. You can do anything you set your mind to. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Remember that.. Just remember.
It’s dark.
It’s dark and it’s cold.
I’m shivering and I can’t feel my body.
I’m so confused.. How did I get here?
Why can’t I see anything?
I try to get up but I stumble and fall.
I try again, but scream in pain, in fear I might break.
“It’s no use..” I murmur, “Nobody can hear me”
“Oh please, can anybody hear me??”
I lay here cold, wet, and naked.
Just as I close my eyes to fall asleep, I feel warmth.
Comfort. Peace.
My whole body soothes as a blanket of love is placed over me.
I feel arms wrap around me and a voice saying, “I hear you”
In that moment, I knew I wasn’t alone.
I knew who my hero was, the one who saved me.
“How did you find me?” I ask in a quiet voice
He replies, so gently and smooth ” I was always here. I’ve been by your side all along. I’ve been waiting for you”
My body goes numb and I am limp in His arms.
I cry, “I’m so sorry… I failed to realize you were there. Please forgive me..”
He looked at my with such grace in his eyes and said, “Daughter.. I already have”
An overwhelming feeling of peace rushes through my veins.
In that moment, I realized who loved me. I realized who gave his life for me, who bled from every pore and suffered a pain so great.. who was then resurrected. For ME.
I realized who was going to be there for me, who carries me when I am weak, who stands by me when I am strong.
I realized I’m not alone anymore..
I realized He is the same today, tomorrow and forever.
I remembered who my Savior is.
And once again.. I was healed.
Have you ever had that moment? The one where you break. The one where you climb into your bed, pull the covers over your head and cry? That moment is the moment of truth.
It’s the moment where you are so broken that you reach for your favorite stuffed animal for comfort
The moment when you realize you believe more in the love of that stuffed animal than in humanity itself.
The moment where you never want to emerge from those covers
The moment when you realize no one can be trusted
The moment when you start to believe love really is a fairytale
The moment when every pain and suffering you have every felt floods through those water gates
The moment when you decide whether to turn towards God or fight against him.
This is the moment where you are your weakest.
But, it is also the moment where you draw your most strength
Because the fact that you are crying, does not mean you are weak, it just means you have been strong to long.
This moment is the biggest moment of your life.
It is the moment where you begin to understand how this world really works.
This is the moment that sets the course for your entire life.
So what will you do with this moment?
Because when you wake up in the morning, this moment will be lost.
Decide now and decide fast.
I’m choosing to fight for life I want and deserve.
What are you choosing?
and in that moment, you not only have a change of life but a change of heart. you realize you’ve gotta fight for every day because it’s a constant battle of people tearing you down and telling you you’re nothing. its a constant battle waking every morning and putting a smile on your face. its a constant battle trying to be happy. that’s when you realize you can’t live like this anymore, you can’t keep doing this to yourself. see that girl? seems invincible, right? wrong. she doesn’t talk to anyone because everything she says will be turned against her, she doesn’t believe in promises because every single ones been broken, and she doesn’t trust anyone because every single person she’s trusted broke her. we’ve gotta take a stand and fight for whats right. we’ve got to take a step back and look at this world for what it really is- filthy lies, wasted time, and broken promises. when the world is beating us senseless, we need to find the strength to get and say “back off” a wise man always told me “don’t take in the world, take on the world” and in that moment.. you learn to fight for yourself
I’m worthless. I have no reason here. All you do is break me down and shatter my heart into a million pieces. If I try to pick up the remains, I might scream.. scream in agony and pain. It hurts to know that you used to love me, think the world of me.. but now all you do is make fun of me, burn me, break me. You say it’s all in good fun, but is it worth it? Is it worth seeing someone fall into the deep dark depths of loneliness? Is it worth breaking my already tattered soul? No.. it’s not. But you think it’s fun. You find joy in other people’s misery. Those beady eyes and that tainted smile remind me of the Devil in you. But that funny laugh and high energy take me for a walk down memory lane. You say you love me but you don’t. You say you care but you don’t. How can I believe you when you’re all messed up too? Do you hear the words coming out of your mouth or do you just say them to hear yourself talk? I’m tired of feeling this way.. tired of life. Sick of lying, sick of crying, sick of trying. Slap on that fake smile and no one will know. Wipe them tears and man up. You’ll never be good enough so Just Give Up. All you do is tell me how to live my life.. I hope you stop dead in your tracks where you stand because you don’t know a single thing about me.. You have NO right to judge me. If you judge, you leave no time for love. Don’t think I’ll listen to you, it’s my life and I’ll do what I want, even if I’m not good enough. Just because I don’t do certain things doesn’t mean I can’t. But apparently that makes me worthless. If I jumped off a bridge, would you care? No. You never did give a dang thing, honey, but I cried, cried for you and I know you wouldn’t have told nobody if I died, died for you.. What a shame.. What a rainy ending given to a perfect day. Please count all the scars you’ve made! Now that I’m sitting here thinking it through, I’ve never been anywhere cold as you. By the way, you’re gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul so don’t come back for me, don’t come back at all! Who do you think you are? Don’t fool yourself into thinking I care because I don’t. Don’t try to call me anymore because I won’t answer. Don’t show up at my house because I won’t be home. Don’t ask what you did when you know.. Don’t pretend why you have NO idea why I don’t trust people anymore when you know what you’re doing to me is the cause. I’m done with all this crap you’ve put me through. I’m moving on, letting go, and pushing you aside. Maybe you should too. I don’t know you anymore.. You’re dead to me.
They say love makes you do crazy things. Sometimes it might be sky diving, getting a tattoo, dying your hair a weird color.. Or maybe the crazy thing is trusting a stranger with your heart. But you’re not a stranger to me. I know you like the back of my hand, I know you inside and out. From your eyes to your feet, everything about you, my Romeo is absolutely perfect. Your smile makes me smile. Your laugh makes me laugh. Your love makes me love.
You know me the best out of anyone I know. You know my past, you know my present, and you know my dreams for the future. You know my regrets. You know my family. You know me as a person. I never feel like I have to pretend around you.. I can truly be myself.
I promise you I’m not like the other Juliet who decides to fake her death to get her man. I know we can’t be together for a while, but you know I am going to wait for you. I’m going to wait to hear you call my name.. I will wait to feel your arms around me. I will wait to feel your lips on mine. I will wait for you as long as I have to.
I love you, my Romeo, forever and ever and I will never let go. No one else will ever compare to you in my eyes.
Life is hard without you, meu amor. I feel like a stranger to myself, if that makes any sense. You knew me better than anyone in this world and without you, I’m not sure who I am. I am heartless without you, for you have my heart and always will. I feel lonely without you. There’s no one who understands me the way you did. There is no one who loves me the way you did. There is never going to be anyone who will mean as much as you did in my life again. You are the best thing I’ve ever had and ever will again. One day, I will meet you again, meu amor, and then maybe.. just maybe.. We can be happy again. I love you, my dear, my love, my Romeo.
Com amor para sempre,
your Juliet
I miss you..
I need you..
I need your touch, your taste.. you
I need your hug, your kiss.. you
I need your love, your respect.. you
All I need is you. Come back to me..
My heart grows stronger with love every day but weaker with a longing for you..
The absence of you is coming to and end but it seems so far away.
Like a far off, distant land I cant get to by boat or plane.. but by dreaming.
Well, honey, if the only way I can see you, touch you, feel you.. is in my dreams..
then I never want to wake up.
I’ll be happy if I sleep forever..
Take me with you. Take me far away. Take me away from all this noise.. this madness. I need somewhere safe. I need somewhere where I can hear my own thoughts, or better yet.. escape from them. Somewhere so far away no one will ever remember me. And if they do, why? Why remember me? What did I ever do to you to make you think twice about me? I’ve thought about you. More than once or twice. Maybe 13 times. Maybe they’re good.. maybe they’re bad. But I can tell you there’s 13 reason’s why:
1- You are or were my friend. Which means we either still talk or had a falling out. And if you’re the 2nd, Kudos! If you’re the first.. Run. FAST.
2- You’ve bent, scarred, burned, or broken me in some way
3- You’ve helped me figure out who I am.. the good and the bad
4- I hate you. Or at least I try
5- I love you. As hard as I try not to
6- I’m IN love with you.. You’re my WHOLE life!!!!
7- You’ve taught me a lesson.. a lesson on life, friendship, love, good evil.. everything
8- You’ve used me in some way- friendship, money, love, lust, making out, whatever you craved
9- I used you. Don’t deny it, we’ve all used people. And I’m sorry for that
10- You hate me- either I’ve done something or I’ve done nothing.. you hate me
11- You love me- Good or bad? Hmm..
12- I’m too good for you- I don’t need you! I don’t need someone who’s going to tear me down every thirty seconds
13- I’m not good enough.. Maybe you’re right. Maybe all those things you’ve said about me are true. I just need to look in the mirror and find out for myself
*And that, my friend, are my 13 reasons why. What are yours??
