Oh geez. Would it sound really odd to say that I don't know? I have my good days, when it just feels right to be living in my own skin. Days when I feel strong and my muscles flow smoothly under my skin, and I look in the mirror and think "Hell yeah!"
And then there are the days where everything bags and bulges, and I feel pasty, misshappen and weak.
I like parts of my body, but I have trouble really liking and feeling comfortable with my physical self most of the time.
What things do you like about it?
After years of feeling inadequate because I'm short, skinny and flat-chested, I've learned to appreciate my small frame. Actually, that's one of the things that drew me to the goth scene. Finally, a place where being pale and waifish was a good thing!
I like the subtle, lean muscles that yoga and ballet have given me. I like the fact that I'm supple and flexible.
What would you change about it if you could?
I'd make it more in tune with the rest of me, if I could. It seems like my mind and my body are often at odds, and I'm getting sick of trying to make peace between the two. I feel betrayed by my own body a lot of the time.
