Letter from Eating Disorder

Dear Victim #524621,

I see you have decided to play my little game. I am straightforward, so I will tell you right off that bat that I am here to make your life difficult. Somedays, you will think that you can beat me but you won't. Even after the all-time lows, and the times you thought you finally surfaced, I will always come back to tempt you. You will keep me a secret from your family and friends and they will convince you, Victim #524621, that you can beat me, that you are stronger than me and my temptations. They will tell you that no matter what happens, they will love you. This is a lie. Your friends will pretend to care, but they will feign concern. Every time say you aren't hungry, they will pull you aside and tell you that you should eat. When you pass out, you'll tell everyone that it had to do with something else, but you and I both know that isn't true.

I am here to make you hate yourself. You see something you don't like about yourself and you invite me to to help tear you down. That's what we have in common: I hate you and you hate yourself. But that's what I'm here for. I'll always help you when are at your weakest point in life. I'm sorry to say it has come to this, but you chose me over so many other things. And always remember, sweetie, I'm here to help.

Sincerely,
Your Eating Disorder.

Ryan Loewy

The photographer is Ryan Loewy and, in my opinion, he is kind of a photographer who takes what he wants and doesn't necessarily have a certain theme that he focuses on. But,  overall, he focuses on people. He takes very interesting, different photos of people in either very natural environments for them, or very just cool, environments.

I think one of the most interesting responses to Jonathan Cherry was when he was asked about his "plan B".

Jonathan Cherry: If all else fails - what is your plan B?

Ryan Loewy: There isn't a plan B. I've already worked the sh--iest jobs in the world to continue to do what I love, if I have to continue to do that for the rest of my life, then that's what I'll do. But there isn't a plan B. A plan B means that I'm giving up and really, I can't do that after all I've put myself through.

The photo I chose was the first one that I ever saw of Loewy's. I just love the cool coloring in the photo and I just absolutely love the simplicity in this photo. It's so simple, but to beautiful. I just... I can't
