we will spin forever

Through acts of self-care there’s been an awakening of my body’s utility. We aren’t just flesh and bones, we are also magnificent vehicles that can sometimes stretch, or move, or walk, or run. We are mechanisms of great mastery in whatever forms we blossom in. Our physicality is not the end. The reality is, despite the ways we’ve been fed our imperfections, nothing is more revolutionary than liking who you are, what you are. For those of us who have been dehumanized by an aggression we never asked for, for those of us who have felt invisible in our bodies that bleed and feel, who have felt undesirable due to ridiculous standards—to like yourself even amidst that is power in its fullest. It’s to remind people, that no matter, you’re still here. That better yet, you’re going to enjoy being here.

I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it – I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know – but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.

Un beso es solo un beso, sólo tiene la importancia que tú quieras darle. Puede no significar nada…O puede cambiarlo todo.
