I will no longer wreak havoc on you I will no longer let you suffer because I was convinced beauty meant taking up less space I will no longer let you confuse beauty with being sick and being sick with beauty I will no longer starve you from not only food but happiness as well But instead, I give you permission to thrive I give you permission to take up space because your thoughts will always be more powerful than collarbones and thigh gaps I give you permission to be authentic and not give a **** what anyone else thinks I give you permission to truly live I give you permission to love yourself

promises to my body
I will no longer wreak havoc on you I will no longer let you suffer because I was convinced beauty meant taking up less space I will no longer let you confuse beauty with being sick and being sick with beauty I will no longer starve you from not only food but happiness as well But instead, I give you permission to thrive I give you permission to take up space because your thoughts will always be more powerful than collarbones and thigh gaps I give you permission to be authentic and not give a **** what anyone else thinks I give you permission to truly live I give you permission to love yourself
