fat hippies

Count yourself lucky if you have girlfriends you can talk to without the conversation drifting to things they hate about their bodies, hair, faces, skin, etc. I had a conversation yesterday with someone who wants to confront an anorexic friend. This is from a girl who eats meals exclusively when she's with her boyfriend.

Don't get me wrong. My hands aren't clean on this one. I strategize daily on how hard I should try. I'm just also glad I have friends who also talk about near miracles, great books, what they think about God, and the community they want to live in. Some days I want to go hang out at a hot springs with old, naked, saggy hippies. I think they've got important things figured out.
