this zine may not be about you. for a long time these thoughts were in my brain but only to lovingly yell at my friends. this zine may be about you but not helpful to you at this time. i hope it's helpful to some though.
if you like this zine you may also like the body neutrality movement. and the song "can't go back" by the crane wives, which i kinda quoted as well. leave the rest behind.
this is part of my project to make a zine a day in april
some things that didn't fit in this zine were:
you gotta learn. you gotta learn that learning doesn't mean feeling bad.
it doesn't help you act right to feel bad about previous things. guilt is useful to a point. that point is reached when you know what you did wrong

Quote
I believe poetry is very old. It’s very sacred. It wishes for a community — it’s a community ritual, certainly. And that’s why, when you write a poem, you write it for anybody and everybody. And you have to be ready to do that out of your single self. It’s a giving. It’s always a gift. It’s a gift to yourself, but it’s a gift to anybody who has a hunger for it.
Mary Oliver (On Being)

Quote
I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out, and I say, oh, I am miserable, what shall — what should I do? And the sea says in its lovely voice: Excuse me, I have work to do.
Mary Oliver, I Go Down to the Shore
