I am a huge fan of slam poetry/spoken word, whatever you want to call it. I can waste HOUUUUUUURS just watching these funny, moving, sad, inspiring poems.
Anyways, this guy Rafael Casal is incredible, this might be one of my favourite peices ever and I think it's so important to realize the message we are giving our youth.
He made me cry when he mentions "little girls who think that skinny is a compliment". It's so true, I remember the days when I would die of pleasure if someone said I was thin or slim.
How fucked up is that? Shouldn't we do something about it when so many young girls and boys have eating disorders, are depressed, engage in SI?
