Dear Body,
I know i criticize and complain. I'm truly sorry for the awful things I say and even feel. I love you i truly do but i still try to change you. Theres nothing wrong with you i promise please dont think there is. The truth is i never used to think of you in a negative way. I miss the days i would go out and play in whatever i threw on because it didnt matter as long as i was having fun. I miss being happy just getting to go outside and play. These days i barely leave my house because im scared. Im not scared of being hurt im scared of being judged. I hate when people look at me it makes me want to curl up into a ball and just disapear. Im so worried about what i wear and if it matches if its too big or too small shows too much or too little. I forgot to worry about how i feel on the inside. I forgot how to not care what anyone else thinks. I forgot how beautiful you are. Im writing this letter to you my beautiful body to ask for your forgiveness. Forgive me for treating you like nothing more than an object. Forgive me for acting like youre my pair of pink shoes that i throw on only when i cant decide. Forgive me for not treating you like my favorite pair of shoes. The shoes i keep put away in their neat little spot in my closet. The shoes i wear that make me feel confident with every compliment i get. I should feel as confident in my body as i do in those shoes but sadly i dont. I should love you as much as i love those stupid shoes that ill one day outgrow. Those shoes that will one day rip and be nothing more than trash. My dear beautiful body im sorry for everything i hope you can forgive me for forgetting how truly wonderful you are. I cherish you truly.
Sincerely Anonymous.
