dear body, i’m sorry. i tried to change you for so many years. i never saw you as good enough. I would look in the mirror and pull you apart. I hated you and in turn, i hated myself. i constantly compared you to other bodies. i thought you were the problem. i thought if only you look better, my life would be better. wow, i was wrong. you’re literally my home, my world, my life. you have held onto so much for me and it’s now time let go. every experience, every trauma. i promise to unconditionally love you, no matter what. lots of love, myself
