“dear Body,
i sometimes frown at your reflection, or cry because of your shapes and curves but
you are strong. you have carried me throughout these past seventeen years and you have rarely failed me. through mountains, where climbing uphill feels like going down to hell and through oceans, where depth scares me to death, you have survived.
you are resilient. no matter how much hate or pain i put onto you, you resist and fight back. you have kept me alive, long after i told you not to.
you are not broken. no matter how many hands, wanted or unwanted, have touched your skin, they did not alter your worth. you are as much of a whole as you were, are and will be.
you are all i have. thank you for not giving up on me. i shouldn’t either.
i’m sorry for all i’ve made you endure. i promise i’ll take better care of you.
forever yours,
Mind.”— dear Body.
