bones beneath my skin

[e_phemerart]

Kinda surprised myself the other day; stretching before the mirror, I could see my ribcage. (this is me, today, arm raised to stretch, but not sucking in my breath)





Then, I found this pic online and loved how it reminded me of Dia De Los Meurtos calaveras. However, at the same time, it's disturbing as a portrait of an anorexic.

That's sorta how my ribs look- yours, not the anorexic girl's. Sometimes I'm kinda self conscious about it though, because I'm afraid that when people look at me they see something like the second picture.

I have to say, I like the second picture for it's artsy fartsy stuff; composition and whatnot. I feel really bad for the model, though :(
