Body Image

It is just my body

I am obsessed with body image.

Even in a world where body positivity is so recognized.

I see the stretch marks from when my breasts and hips grew in.

I sometimes pull and pinch at the soft skin that the marks took over.

I have been doing this since I was ten years old. I am twenty five now.

At twenty two I went to a see someone to get my stretch marks removed.

She told me nothing was there to remove.

It is just my body.

I am prideful.

I am embarrassed.

It is everybody.
