And I said to my body softly

I want to be your friend.

It took a long breath and replied

I have been waiting my whole life for this

—

We all come in different shapes and sizes.

That’s what makes us so unique.

That’s what makes us beautiful, each in our own way.

Please never ever compare your body to anyone else’s.

Know that your body serves you well

Lungs breathing, Heart beating

Legs walking, Hands holding

And Mouths kissing

Please love yourself enough

 To accept yourself just as you are.

Because just as you are

Is perfect, Is beautiful
