Body Talk

By...Sonya Sigler

Maybe it’s aging, perhaps maturity?  No, it can’t be either of those since I’m not getting older and I will never mature.

This body of mine blows my mind.  The strength, energy, and ability of my body have become a source of awe to me.   The way my waist curves in, the muscles in my shoulders, the strength in my thighs.  The curve of my neck that leads into the determined jawline that tightens when I am concentrating.

This body of mine walks with such confidence that it borderlines on cockiness.  I don’t just walk, I move with fluid confidence and I feel like I have finally come to own everything about myself.  Some see flaws, I see battle scars.  Some see less than perfection, I see brilliant progress.  Some see a 40-something year old woman.  I see her as well, and she is fucking amazing, beautiful, insightful, confident, and strong.  I will never pull her down again, never put her down again, and will always be her biggest fan.
