My body is not a "before" picture. It is not a project. It is a home. And today, I’m throwing the windows open.

I see you. I used to be you. I deleted more selfies than I ever posted. I let a number on a tag ruin my whole mood. But let me tell you what changed—I stopped apologizing for gravity.

But not the way the dictionary defines it. Not just a statistic or a tag on a search bar.

We are soft, but we are not weak. We are thick, but we are not slow. We are here, and we are taking up every inch of space we deserve.
