Loved this so much had to share it. Reposted from @cardioguide You have the waves of the sea writ on your skin, and still you doubt your magic? Because you are magic. You are a marvel. You’re sun and sand and soul rolled into one, caught in the bind of a body but so much more So very, very much more. I can’t stop thinking about my mom. About the lessons she taught me. About the lessons she never had a chance to learn. And I wonder if she knew how to love her body. I question it. She clawed and fought and sought her way to a better world. She struggled solo for the future of her children. But self love. Did she know self love? Do you? And while I can’t speak to her, I can share this here, now. I can remind you as many times as I must remind myself: You are a force. You are a tumble of elements and particles and mass that somehow amass to so much more than a series of separate parts. You’re strength. You’re beauty. You’re greatness beyond what could ever be captured in words. And if you doubt, If you forget, Look at yourself. Look at how your eyes glint like suns and your skin like seas, And how your soul roars with the very power of the ocean. You are magic. You are a marvel. You are.
