I grew a lot this year and I'm proud of myself for that. This is from the beginning of senior year where I was beginning to find comfort and happiness with myself.

Goodness, it feels fantastic to feel inside your body

I feel so much joy and happiness as myself and it's an intoxicating feeling

Slipping into my stomach like warm tea with too much honey

And I love the way my legs curve and angle themselves

The way my face is shaped

The way I carry myself

The sounds I make

The tamber of my voice

The awkward beard which is fixing itself to my jaw

The way my arms are filling out as I gain strength

The rise and fall of my stomach and the crevices of my hips marked by v-lines

The wiry hair which coats my legs

The confidence and joy I have

The way I love and I love and I don't stop caring and I'm consumed by passion and find myself diving into everything head first

The way I move my body, controlling and isolating each muscle

The way I feel like I am vibrating in my own skin

How my olive toned skin doesnt match with everything

I love myself and I've spent far too long struggling with myself
