body

by @eva-clay

you haven't exercised in a week you haven't exercised and you've been eating a lot - ice cream and candy and not entirely healthy things you haven't exercised and you've been eating a lot and you've developed a slight pudge around your tummy where previously you wanted rock hard abs because you wanted to be strong but you're finding that strong isn't what you've made it to be maybe strong is more than slim bodies and powerful arms...maybe and the strangest part of this journey of self-discovery is that, as your stomach starts to make itself a delicate padding and as you roll over in bed instead of going for a run, you are curiously the most happy you've been in weeks and you love your body and it makes sense and you are happy
