"I had my heart broken and ate ice cream from the tub. My body grew softer and protected my heart. Not since puberty had I seen these cherry red markings streaking across my belly like fireworks. At first I didn't know how to feel. But for me, these stretch marks represent emotional and physical growth. And I know one day when they fade to a sheer twinkle, I'll think, you survived. Heart break, trauma and everything in between. You did that."
