I thought I'd share some photography from my "adventures" to Byron and the forest preserve. My personal favorite:



I like experimenting with the theme of society and nature; specifically, nature overtaking man's creations and reclaiming them:



And of course, simple, beautiful things:



And interesting textures:



It's nice to share some "normal" (whatever normal means) things every once in a while rather than recovery-related topics in order to keep focused on my hobbies and to not define myself by my eating disorder. Photography is one of those hobbies, as is poetry and music. Much of my writing can be found here at Hello Poetry.

Recovery-wise, things have been going well. I'm experimenting with new foods and even tried my hand at cooking tofu, which turned out decently. Garlic-lime tofu with grapes, salad, and corn:



And I had oatmeal for the first time in a long time:




What defines you? Who are you without your eating disorder?

  1. That's a good point...about posting about your hobbies and YOU rather than just ED...I keep forgetting that I started my new blog as something to "invest myself" in (...kind of like a work in progress I guess...) of things I like, and ME, not ED but he's kind of re-claiming it. Thank you for that...

    Anyway I love your photos, you're such an amazing photographer. I love the "simple and beautiful things" -- so cute and amazing! And I especially like the one where nature is "taking over" again. That's so good...because I'm totally obsessed with nature and the earth and everything of that sort and it kind of sheds like on how powerful nature is...I love it!

    Love,
    Alexandra

    P.S.
    YAY FOR OATMEAL! Only my favorite food on the face of the planet...
    Oh, and I have to try cooked tofu...I've only ever had it IN things, not as a dish by itself.
