Dear Body,
You ache, I know this, but through the ache comes great strength. I've put you through a lot, from being sore for weeks straight. You've been able to push through the rough times. I know I don't say I like you, or that you look fine, but you've been here long enough to know I am bad with words.
Your eyes change depending on my mood, but no matter the mood they still shine through the darkness. They show the true feelings to the ones who know how to look at them. Your mouth says things to hide what's inside because otherwise something terrible could happen if it said the truth all the time; my heart/mind might crumble. Your ears hear a lot of crap about others, but has the ability to block out the shitty stuff about me. I am thankful for what those 3 things do to keep me sane.
Now your hair might be thick and curly, but just think that means you'll still have hair when others begin to lose theirs. That gut might not be like it used to, but it still looks fabulous on you even if you don't feel like it does at times. Damn, those legs you got are some very hot things.
The body hair might be an issue, but it keeps you warm when it's cool outside. Keep the heat don't freeze when you got the thick hair that could keep you warm.
Love ya bunches,
Cameron

Dear Body,
I think it is very safe to say that we have had our ups and downs. You have stuck with me through it all. I’m not sure why, but I have always been far too critical of you.
Whether it was because of the media; because of bullies or peer pressure; or even because of my own incorrect perceptions, I have always viewed you asFat, Ugly, and Repulsive. For this, I am so so so sorry. I have treated you so badly… I have used alcohol to “loosen up” and razor blades to “kill the pain.” I deprived you of food in hopes that some of that weight would just magically fall off and you would transform into this perfect reflection of the skinny, beautiful woman I see every day.
I’m sorry that it took me so long to see it, but our beauty lies in our imperfections. The crookedness of our smile, the crazy way our hair looks when we first wake up, the way we stick out our tongue we are concentrating… It is simply and utterly beautiful.
I love you. I know it has taken a long time, but I love every part of this beautiful vessel you give me. I promise that I will treat you better. You deserve to be worshipped like the temple that you are. Thank you for putting up with my naivety.
Stay Beautiful <3
