I love my body.
Added 2020-12-18 10:36:14 +0000 UTCI love my body for creating tears when I need to let go of overwhelming feelings,
I love my body for moving when there is music around,
I love my body for drawing a smile on my face when I need to express my contentment,
I love my body for the feeling it allows me to have when I sneak in a comfy bed with clean sheets and a warm blanket,
I love my body for all the little things it tells others about me that I wouldn't be able to verbalize otherwise,
I love my body for allowing me to listen to my friends, past, present or future,
I love my body for making it easy for me to go on walks with my dog,
I love my body for crashing on the couch and bingewatching Christmas shows,
I love my body for making it possible for me to see all the beauty around me,
I love my body for being my compagnon in all the important and less important steps of my life,
I love my body for all the ways it helps me connect with others, and myself.
For all these reasons and many more, I love who I see in the mirror. Capitalism sometimes convinces me that my worth is held in the way I look, but this is just a toxic illusion. I am as worthy with 30kg more or 30kg less. My weight has nothing to do with my inner value, and I wish people could realize that about themselves.
My body is beautiful, but it is the least interesting thing about it. And I hope you can say the same about yourself.
For the ones who wonder, I am currently battling hard stuff in my personal life and it takes lots of space in my mind. It is necessary but quite heavy, which makes it hard to stay focus on other things and has a clear impact on my work, but it may get better super soon, hopefully! I'm trying my best for it :) Thank you so much for your support, understanding, and kindness.
