ITS MY BODY

The strangest thing I did not expect. As everybody knows I recently got a tattoo and am working on a second. What I did not expect was the level of personal joy this is giving me in rooting myself in my body. 

For most of my life I kind sat in this place of self loathing of my body. It was never thin enough or firm enough or shaped right or or or and the list goes on. In parallel with that is me feeling anchored on this earth. It's been a challenge for longer than I can remember. Something I've worked on for years in therapy and have made very little progress. But honestly decorating my body has strangly made me feel more connected and at home in it. It's an incredible feeling that I never counted on.
