Dear body, 

Feet, Im glad you are not super hurt form dancing, but I do wish your arches didn’t fall so easily. I worked really hard to get that pretty curve to my foot and then it went away like a week later.


Ankles, you guys are terrible. Seriously, get you shit together and learn to carry me. Stop with this falling all over yourselves shit


Calves, Ill get you guys back to your previous glory. I promise. 


Knees, please never fail on me. Patella’s please, for the love of god stay where you are. Don’t ever move around.


Thighs. Im not terribly fond of how you guys look. I appreciate all you do for me. Then again you flop around and slap against eachother and make disgusting noises. You were never pretty but you are really strong and you’ve always been there for me. 


Ass, Well more then one person has told me you’re hot.  I don’t necessarily agree but I can only see you if I look in a mirror so yeah. 

Hips, you guys are kind of cute.

Stomach, you are a big problem. First of all you are SO strong, yet you hide behind a layer of fat that seems impossible to get rid of. Secondly, you are constantly unhappy and no doctor can figure out what the hell is wrong with you so my only real solution is basically a liquid diet. Third, and finally YOU WONT HEAL YOUR PIERCING PROPERLY. Seriously, get it together.

Chest, eh, you’re pretty okay. You have nothing terribly special either way. 

Arms. You are flabby disgraces for limbs. Once we get you to curl more then 10 lbs we can talk. Now, for my hands; I like you guys. You’re kinda pretty and you make some pretty okay drawings. So I guess thats cool. 

Shoulders; see above. Get stronger.

Neck, you are rather elegant I like that in a neck. You also hold my head on without too many complaints. As I have learned recently, heads are pretty damn heavy. So thanks for that. 

Face, you contain most of my sensory organs all of which are functioning correctly. Thats awesome, thank you for that. Sometimes I even think you’re kind of pretty. Then other times you decide to erupt like Mt Vesuvius, but thats what foundation is for, right face? Right. 

Hair: you are wonderful, I love you. Thanks for putting up with all my shit. 

Brain: Stop being so dumb and struggling so much with depression, look at all the nice friends you’ve got! The rest of my body loves you, brain. Please remember that next time you (and I) are feeling down!

Love all of you,
bethany
