I hate that we have to fight so hard to be happy in our bodies, in life. This is common but this is not normal. I heard that in Cuba, they don't have body positivity issues because they don't have advertising. People just walk around accepting themselves. Idk. It could be a lie. But I always find that I'm not OK with my body when COMPARE myself to others...or something elese I see. I hate that. I really do.

I think you and your body are amazing for getting through this difficult time and every difficult time before it. Bodies can be so frustrating, and I definitely have to remind myself sometimes that my body is constantly doing her best to help me survive. Sometimes she knows better, and sometimes my brain does, but the goal is ultimately the same - to keep me safe. I love that you're being gentle with yourself through this.
