Months ago I had a great conversation with Valentina Gaia Lops (@valentinagaialops), a photographer working with Bruno Vinhas on The Body House Project (@thebodyhouseproject) I volunteered to participate by sharing my story of body shame and self-hate. It was lovely, affirming and engaging. When she asked me to complete "My body is..." I spontaneously said "mine." That is how I feel. An adjective wouldn't do it for me, reclaiming means taking my body back.
I am proud of myself for sticking to talk therapy, and I feel compelled to share how it has helped me because I think you are, like me, often listening to mental-health negative comments dismissing it as an inconsequential waste of time.
Let me express my anger, and let it connect to yours.
Do you ever feel like you are failing your ideas because you are not even jotting down notes? They appear, crystallize, and you barely acknowledge they are there.
I am in love with this androgynous body with fluid gender and sexuality
