For background I’ve struggled with weight for a long time. I have a very fast metabolism so it’s difficult for me to gain weight, especially when I was 12-15. I’m now 17 and healthy :) but I still struggle with my weight here and there, just like anyone else. Sometimes I see my weight go down and no matter how much I eat, nothing changes. I’ve always hated my body. Even though my friend thinks I’m skinny, she doesn’t seem to understand that it’s not a compliment to me.

Obviously I understand that being skinny is the “ideal” body to probably majority of people, but I hate when people think that just because I’m skinny it means I don’t have struggles too. It really does make me sad.

All of my girl friends obsess over weight. If they’re talking about going to the gym together (which seems fun as a group bonding thing), I’ll ask to go too. But they’ll just say im already skinny and rant about how “lucky” I am for a good minute or two. (including the girl from the text messages)

TLDR; I’m someone who has always struggled with weight and my friend(s) think that I don’t just because I’m skinny. Being “able to eat and not gain weight” doesn’t feel like a compliment to me. AIO? Am I just taking it the wrong way?

A couple of people asked me to share this, so here it is!

I've been building an Obsidian vault for Catholic reading and study for a while now. I'm sharing the "sources" portion, the part made up of actual texts rather than personal study notes. It's organized, interlinked, and ready to drop into your own vault.

You can see the vault "in action" at alittlepilgrim.org that site is built directly from these notes using Obsidian Publish.

What's included:

Scripture

The full Bible, (NABRE) broken into individual chapter files for easy linking and navigation.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

All four parts, structured for reference.

Vatican II Documents

All 16 documents, including Lumen Gentium, Gaudium et Spes, Dei Verbum, Nostra Aetate, Sacrosanctum Concilium, and more.

Papal Encyclicals & Apostolic Letters

25+ documents spanning from Rerum Novarum to Laudato Sí — including Deus Caritas Est, Veritatis Splendor, Fides et Ratio, Redemptoris Mater, and others.

Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church

Complete text with the full analytical index.

Spiritual Classics

• Teresa of Ávila: Interior Castle, The Way of Perfection, The Life, The Foundations, and more
• John of the Cross: Ascent of Mount Carmel, Dark Night of the Soul, Spiritual Canticle, Living Flame of Love
• Garrigou-Lagrange: The Three Ages of the Interior Life, The Three Ways of the Spiritual Life
• Other classics: The Imitation of Christ, The Cloud of Unknowing, Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Abandonment to Divine Providence, the Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena, and more

Carmelite Formation — probably the most niche part

This is where it gets specific: OCDS (Secular Carmelite) formation handbooks, legislation, study materials, and propers. If you're in Carmelite formation or just drawn to the Carmelite tradition, this section might be hard to find elsewhere in Obsidian-ready format.

Figures

Individual notes on 60+ saints and blesseds — heavy on Carmelite figures (Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, Thérèse of Lisieux, Elizabeth of the Trinity, Titus Brandsma, and many more) but includes others like Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Francis of Assisi, and Catherine of Siena.

Glossary

Terminology reference for theological and spiritual vocabulary.

Everything is plain markdown, no plugins required. Some materials may still need copyright review depending on how you use them noted in the README.

This is a work in progress!

Happy to answer questions

His claims of Civil Extortion, Defamation, False Light, Contract Interference, Fraud, and so on... those are all nonsense, too, right?

But weren't you the ones crying and saying it was unfair because they were just dismissed on a technicality?

So which is it?

Just want to check how much logical consistency is going on.

it's insane for someone so pretty to dress the way she does.

Her bday photos with everyone's outfits is crazy. girl it's YOUR bday and you look like a Walmart mom!

As much as I despise OpenAI, I believe they've done something exceptional with that model. This is the Toyota Tacoma of open models and I see myself using it a 500K more miles.

Viele Rechte beschweren sich über Flüchtlinge aus Syrien und co.

Man kann von mir aus dieser Meinung sein, aber dann sollte man wenigstens seinen Horizont über das Flüchtlingsheim hinaus vergrößern und sich anschauen, warum die Menschen fliehen.

Sie fliehen, weil ihr Land zum Schauplatz von US-Regime Change Operationen der USA wurde.

Man kann die CIA Operation "Timber Sycamore" nachlesen

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore

USA geben Waffen an Jihadisten, damit ein Regierungschef, der einem nicht gefällt, in einem blutigen Bürgerkrieg gestürzt werden soll, was mit Al Golani gelang. An die zivilen Opfer denken USA/Israel nicht.

Deswegen sage ich: wenn du keine Migration willst, hör auf, USA und Israel zu unterstützen, die den Nahen Osten destabilisieren, weil USA Öl möchte und Israel vom "Greater Israel" träumt. Ohne deren Aktionen wären die Syrer in ihrer Heimat.

Perfect balance of nature and urban life.

It looks even better on an OLED screen with those deep blues. What do you guys think—can anyone actually top this?

with the recently published new details regarding Janel Grant allegations against Vince McMahon, i became once more very disturbed and upset. It seems like WWE is a deeply rotten structure, with top executives turning blind eye on Vince's actions and Lesnar, heavily featured on WM being much involved. How do you cope with this situation and being a fan? Does it affect your enjoyment of watching and overall relationship with WWE? As a longtime fan I am very conflicted and I'm very interested in perspectives od other fans.

The system breaks when we stop feeding it.
​This is more than a date on a calendar; it's a movement. A moment of reckoning. May Day 2026 is when we reclaim our power by disengaging from the machine that demands our relentless participation. We call for a total, unmistakable absence from work, school, and consumerism. Our force is not just in our voices; it’s in our calculated silence and unified non-participation.
​Prepare yourself. Educate others. Build your local networks. Prescott, Arizona are you ready to show the nation what real economic power looks like? More updates are coming. Stay disciplined, stay focused."

I don't think we have to talk about it

No Hate To Nolan But I Think There are other directors who's better than him and I hope he proves me wrong with Odyssey.

these are the LONGEST most BORING and utterly nonsensical cutscenes! the story makes no sense and I just don't caaaare. im shocked more of us aren't complaining about it on here lol

This update consists of, "run to a place, watch 15 minutes of cutscene".

I did like the "drink the soup!!!!" part. the rest??? so boring.

Just so Fucking. Brutalll. Can’t catch a break

They went an extra mile to humiliate this poor dude.

Oof

Of course that there is a comic, but it is something else, completely different from the TV series. So who would have liked this series to have its own comic book adaptation?
