Hi guys. I just wanted to come on here and talk a little bit about what I've been up to and how I've been feeling during this quarantine. So, as they have been for almost everyone, these past four months have been super hard for me. They've been great, in a lot of ways, but in others, I'm kind of struggling. To start off on a positive note, I got back with my boyfriend in April, and that has been super amazing for me. Going back to an old relationship after being single for a while has been an interesting transition, to say the least. There was the excitement and joy over being back with someone I clearly had deep feelings for, but then there was the fear of judgment from friends that was something that got to me. I've always been someone who internalizes how others feel about things, so it was hard opening up about something that's been so great for me, just because a few people maybe wouldn't see it as a great thing. And I can understand why of course; I

Four days ago, on May 21, 2020, Lana Del Rey made a controversial Instagram post that sparked up a lot of attention on various social media platforms, especially Twitter. The post was intended to bring awareness to how Lana has been mistreated by the media and other alternative artists for "glamorizing abuse" but instead was turned into a Twitter war amongst people who either agreed or disagreed with Lana's statements. The first paragraph of the post started off with Lana listing a bunch of the most well known female pop and rap artists today like Ariana Grande, Doja Cat, Cardi B, Camila Cabello, Beyonce, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and how they get praised for singing about wearing no clothes, having sex, cheating, and other sexual themes, while Lana Del Rey gets criticized for singing about dancing for money, being embodied and feeling loved in an abusive relationship. She is often demonized by female alternative singers and writers for romanticizing abusive relationshi

Tw: talking of eating disorders and body dysmorphia At some point, everyone has had a thought about wanting to change something they didn’t like about their body. Maybe you are really tall and you wish you were a few inches shorter, or maybe you’re too short and you wish you were a few inches taller. Maybe your boobs aren’t the same size, maybe they’re too big or too small. Maybe you wanna spend more time at the gym because you want to become more muscular. Maybe you want to be curvier, or skinner. Maybe you hate your nose, your eyes, or your hair. Whatever it may be, most people are thinking of something right now that they wish they could “fix”.  I’ve struggled with body positivity my whole life. I am totally accepting of other people, meaning I don’t judge anyone by the way they look. I think all body types are beautiful and deserve a place in the world as long as the person is healthy and being kind to themselves. However, I often find myself being extremely critical t

Hey Readers,  Welcome to my new blog, Girl Insight. My name is Eva, and I'm a student at Framingham State University. I'm currently 19 years old. My major is fashion merchandising and I'm also going to minor in journalism, which I'll be starting next semester. I'm a Pisces. I'm half Brazilian on my dad's side and half Irish on my mom's side. I've always had a passion for writing and fashion, and I really hope to find a job someday where I'm able to combine the two. I wanted to start this blog to give myself a platform to talk about topics I wouldn't be able to discuss otherwise. I'm planning on writing about fashion of course, but I also want to dive into some topics relevant to high school and college-aged girls, such as relationships and dating advice, breakups, mental health, body positivity, cultural identity and much more. The reason I decided to name my blog "Girl Insight" is because my audience is mainly going to be yo
