Sometimes I like my face.
I always like my girlfriend's face.

Although I haven’t uploaded all of my Venice pictures yet, I wanted to post this one now. I thought it was important as tomorrow begins National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. This picture, taken yesterday during my weekend in Venice, is one of the first pictures of myself I really like. While I am still struggling with my eating disorder and am extremely unhappy with myself, I felt genuinely good when this picture was taken. I wanted to share this with you all because a) I’m never happy with how I look in pictures and b) it’s me in Venice, how can I not post it?
