Journey through Life

My friend is doing a project called Human Variation, it’s a blog of people of all sizes, ages, shapes, races, etc. nekkid. Now it’s NOT porn but just a way to celebrate part of what makes us individual. Here is what the project is about.

The Human Variation project is an art blog designed to discover and celebrate the beauty inherent in diverse human bodies. The project is based on the simple premise that every body is beautiful by virtue of being human, and that every body has a basic aesthetic value that should be celebrated and appreciated.

Societies do not operate under this premise. Societies evolve over time with various ever-changing norms and standards of beauty. The Human Variation project doesn’t imply that social norms of beauty are bad per se, only that they are a subset of that which is beautiful. Nor are we suggesting that people who do happen to fit those norms, whether by accident or design, are any less beautiful than those who do not. What we celebrate on this blog is diversity itself, the myriad ways the human body can grow and develop, adapt and change, age and be modified.

By doing so, the Human Variation project hopes to achieve two goals.

First, it is our intention that our contributors simply feel good about themselves. We sincerely desire for people of all ages, shapes, sizes, genders, and races to feel as though they are worthy of pride in their appearance. Second, we wish that those who observe the contributions, particularly those whose views of human beauty have been rooted in the expectations of society, can be educated by and take pleasure in challenging the prevailing notions of whose bodies should be celebrated.

If you believe that this is a worthwhile mission to undertake, please consider contributing. It’s easy and anonymous, and you just might change something for the better in yourself or someone else.

I put the link separate so the link would have to be C&P and not just moused over for the site preview due to the content of the page.

It’s been a while since I’ve updated and I’ll do it this week I promise!

That’s how birthdays and pretty much any day are for me. Just another day.

No one to care that I was born or that I even exist. Nothing to look forward to.  Of course the folks online send you greetings, but it still hurts when they tell you to ‘enjoy it’ and ‘have fun’. While I tell others the same, they actually do. They have people around to celebrate with them and let them know that they’re happy they were born.

Valentine’s day is coming up here in a few weeks and I’ve never had one. For many people they say it’s not an important day. But they all have or had someone in their lives so of course for them it may not be a big deal. But when you’ve never had anyone just to see what the deal is about for once would be nice.

Most people have a point in their lives or even a time period that they can say they were happy or would love to relive that age. I haven’t had it and don’t know if I ever will. There hasn’t been an age or a year where I can say that I’d love to relive again or that it was the best of my life.

I keep dreaming and hoping that things will change but it’s not much hope.
