the going itself is the path

words to live by
"I thought," she said, "that I was carried by the will of Him I love, but now I see that I walk with it. I thought that the good things He sent me drew me into them as the waves lift the islands; but now I see that it is I who plunge into them with my own legs and arms, as when we go swimming. I feel as if I were living in that roofless world of yours where men walk undefended beneath naked heaven. It is a delight with terror in it! One's own self to be walking from one good to another, walking beside Him as Himself may walk, not even holding hands. How has He made me so separate from Himself? How did it enter His mind to conceive such a thing? The world is so much larger than I thought. I thought we went along paths - but it seems there are no paths. The going itself is the path."

tags: randomness this has been a post bra shopping sucks plus size shopping in general sucks but plus size bra shopping sucks the most rants

pardon my possible tmi (gentlemen may wish to skip this post?), but BRA SHOPPING SUCKS.

And like, I don’t want to go without a bra, because my ladies need the support. Which is actually part of the problem.

I am actually really confused by this problem, too.

It seems like I can find places that stock EITHER large cup sizes OR large band sizes, but NOT BOTH.

THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME.

Plus if it’s hard to find ANY places that sell my size bras (46G, if you’re wondering) at all, it’s basically IMPOSSIBLE to find places that sell bras in my size that are ACTUALLY CUTE. I mean just because I’m fat doesn’t mean I don’t want cute bras. I’m not even having sex and that doesn’t mean I don’t want cute bras!

I JUST WANT CUTE BRAS. I actually don’t even care right now if the actual cups are cute, I just want some cute bra STRAPS, so that I can wear things with which my bra straps might show (like tank tops or boat-neck tops or a strapless dress with a not-opaque shrug-thing etc) and have said showing bra straps actually be cute!

And it would really, really help if I could find these mythical 46G-but-still-cute bras FOR A REASONABLE PRICE. By which I mean, you know, under $50. I AM POOR, I CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND MORE ON BRAS THAN I SPEND ON JEANS FFS. Jeans are expensive enough!

IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK? IS IT REALLY?

If you have a similar problem and you have actually found a solution, please let me know?
