I Changed the Way I Spoke About My Body

Dear Delyara, A strange health victory happened recently: I stopped speaking about my body like it was a problem to solve. I don’t mean I suddenly adore everything. I just mean the language changed. Less attack. Less complaint. Less impatience. More listening. More practicality. More curiosity. More care. The body hears what we call it. I think mine had been hearing criticism for too long.
