Becoming Friends With My Body

I’m starting to realize that I’m more than just a body.

I always thought being loved meant getting hurt. And my body was getting me in all that trouble. I hated my body. I thought my body was the reason for all my pain. I’m starting to learn more about myself and I’m realizing that my body is innocent. I can’t blame my body for what has happened to me. I don’t have to punish my body for anything. It took me ten years to get to this knowledge. Therapy brought me here. And I’m happy it did. I’m trying to build a new relationship with my body. It’s not an easy road. And it’s a long road, a very long one. But I think it will be worth it because I deserve to become friends with my body.
