I like my dark orange hair, the way it hangs low beneath my shoulders and drapes down my spine.   I like how it looks in braids.   I like how pretty my toes look when I wear scarlet polish. I like how tiny my ankles are. I like having a little waist and how it tilts to one side. I like how cute I feel with my face naturally and I like my round nose. I like the way my teeth look after I have Oreos and coffee in the morning.   I like my spidery fingers and my baby wrists.   I like how dainty they look when I play piano.   I like how they look with chipped nail polish.   I like my body I like the uneven scatter of bones and ridges, like when the plates under the sea collide and rise. Pretty words make the negatives desirable. I like these things today.
