when i’m hating my body i have to remember that the trauma of the irish famine sticks with my irish genes to this day so i can’t lose weight easily because i was literally built to not starve to death. it helps me like my body more

like she’s just trying to keep me alive she’s just doing what her genes learned to do after generations of starvation cuz unfortunately my irish genes aren’t the only ones that starved! jewish as well. it’s crazy to think about how the trauma of past generations sticks with you today and how two completely unrelated peoples (irish and jewish) experience the same generational traumas in a way (the anti starvation body, prone to anxiety, many more)
