“Letter to self”

 Dear Body & Soul,

I am sorry.

Sorry to be naive enough to have a utopian ideology in my head where being fit
was all about zero figure, a jawline & thigh gaps.

Moments where I doubted myself & checked twice in the mirror 
just to ensure the belly didn't bulge out of my tee.

Being so shallow, that I could only smile with lipstick on.
Being so kind to others that I forgot to be kind to self.

I am sorry, My Body & My Soul as I've treated you more like a material 
that needs approval from others than a part of myself.
How I keep forgetting that beauty lies within myself 
& none of the Mac or Fair'n'Lovely products will ever make me happier.

So yes, I've decided to love you & take care of you as you're a part of me than this world's.
Fat or lean, fair or dark, tall or short, It's just me in love with myself, again 🙂
