A Letter To My Daughter: This Is My Body

A Letter To My Daughter: This Is My Body | Herstory | Scoop.it
From www.rolereboot.org - July 25, 2013 6:55 AM

This is my body—and it is beautiful.

I want you to know I am proud of this body, imperfections and loose skin and stretch marks and all. It is mine and only mine, unique and wonderful in its own way. It may not be the type of body you will see adorning the glossy pages of magazines—thin and tan and tall and flawless. I am at peace with that. I am still beautiful. My body does not need to fit some ill-conceived notion of perfection. It is already perfect.

An opinionated woman obsessed with objects, entertained by ephemera, intrigued by researching, fascinated by culture & addicted to writing. The wind says my name; doesn't put an @ in front of it, so maybe you don't notice. http://www.kitsch-slapped.com
