If only my hair was thicker like it used to be so I could grow it long long. Why can't that flab go away. How come I always have to hide those dark circles under my eyes -- Thallassemia is a silly and rude thing. If only I didn't have that.
If only.
Story of my nearly 25 years of life. Always needing to control what I cannot. I've had enough anxiety to shake a stick at and I would not wish those feelings upon anyone. Ever. So here's to more time resting my mind. More art, more creating. More hitting goals at the gym -- I do have to stop and say here that time spent is paying off. I need to see that. Here's to slowing down my nightly routine, to not skip the moisturizer because I'm tired, to eating a piece of chocolate if I want. Remembering my vitamins in the morning. Drinking my water and not cursing so much -- or just not giving a damn and cursing when I good and well please.
Here's to being gentle with myself. And taking good care of myself.
I suppose sometimes, many times, us ladies, whether we like to admit it or not, are very hard on our bodies. We're hard on ourselves. Why are we so unforgiving of our number one gal? So this post is here to remind me, and you, to say girl, you're doing just fine.

This speaks truth. If I stand with my legs completely straight my knees are nearly non existent due to the thickness of my upper thighs and the layer of fat right above my knee. It has always bothered me. I agree with you though & I feel like I need that constant reminder. We are so harsh on ourselves, and we just need to accept our bodies the way they are.

That was so good. I too have way too much anxiety in my life and I liked what you said about gentle with yourself. We are the hardest critique of our own life. Sometimes we just need to give ourselves a break.
