I read this when you pubbed it and loved it. Just want you to know that my subconscious went back to it during morning pages today when I was writing about body image/aging/changing. I wrote some excerpts in my journal. Calloused feet, prickly shins, spotty back. Thank you for sharing and reminding me of shared humanness. ❤️ there will never be enough reminders of that
wow this is so powerful, i felt like my body could relax just by reading it. i am craving this feeling so intensely right now and i didn’t even realise until i read this. so incredible! thank you for writing and sharing!
