Body- Please Forgive Me
For years, I've had a love-hate relationship with my body. I would say there was too much here, not enough there; my body was the bain of my existence. No one abused my body as much or more than I did. I would curse it, vocally express how much I hated it because of how unappealing I thought it to be. Today, I would like to extend a formal apology to my wonderful shell that has sustained me for four decades. My wonderful body that has continued to keep me alive despite all of the abuse and neglect that I have inflicted upon it. Please accept my apology for telling you how much I hated you, while you worked overtime to keep my heart pumping and the blood flowing through my veins despite me fueling you with all of the things that were no good for you. Thank you for keeping me limber and strong despite the fact that I don't give you the proper rest, exercise, and nutrients that you need to flourish. Despite the years of abusing you and verbally expressing my disdain for you, you have continued to show me love, care, and consistency. Body, please forgive me for not appreciating all that you have done for me under the conditions that I have put you under.
