Im Suddenly Remembering That I Felt Like My Wellness Was A Burden. I Think Im Gonna Start Taking Care

And God said “Love Your Enemy,” and I obeyed and loved myself

- Kahlil Gibran, The Broken Wings

My mom, as a single parent, used to work at the front desk of my dance studio after her regular 9-5 just so i could have “free” unlimited classes and studio space to practice. And that sums up my mom as a parent.

Whenever i cry out of nowhere i check my period tracker.

Ive learned that when i react proportionate to your offenses instead of listening to my words and interpreting my volume for conviction all you listen to is what you’ve heard time and time again: that i am as dangerous as a bear. You see my small stature and tears streaming down my face and the first things you think about is YOUR SAFETY. You know what? Fuck you and the fucked people that said that im in the wrong for getting angry because i hope you know i have been angry since. I actually dont feel much anymore and its your fault.

Stretch Marks

I felt my legs while laying in bed today and felt like they were smoother than usual. This hit me strangely because i remember always feeling the unique stretch marks that have permanently adorned my skin. After spending my preteen and teen years afraid to get in the pool or wear booty shorts, its weird that now that ive finally made peace with my body, my stretch marks are disappearing.
