A frying oil burn accident at 6 years old. Arms and legs fully burned. I got a new body, and it took me 20 years to learn how to love and take care of it. A body that has felt depressed, extremely anxious, and so unsafe. But it’s also a body that’s capable of so much more. It feels deeply. It has great intuition and it’s so, so wise. I was ashamed of it. I once hated it. Now I like it and sometimes I love it. And I can’t wait to learn more and more about her—what she will show me, where she will guide and lead me. My body is strong, fragile, and everything in between. Thank you, thank you for carrying me, for showing me how to truly LIVE life. I can rest now, I am safe.
