Dear She,

My dear body, I feel as though I have neglected you lately, and that’s not fair for you.
On some days, because of my hostility towards you, you have been left empty and aching and other days, you are stuffed like a turkey on thanksgiving. You deserve to be fed what you need, when you need it.
On some days, you have been hidden away under layers of clothes because I am ashamed of you. You have been buried beneath sweater after baggy sweater, day after day where no one can see your natural shapes. You deserve to be appreciated for every contour and curve.
On some days, you are disregarded when it comes to what you need. Your simple wishes are brushed under the rug and you are left exhausted. For some reason, my invincible outlook on life causes me to forget to slow down for a minute to breathe. You deserve to rest after working as hard as you do for me.
You deserve my love, and lately I haven’t given it to you. You deserve my care, and you deserve my appreciation. So this is it. This is my official peace treaty to end the war and let the peace live on for the rest of our days. You are so beautiful in every way and I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.

Love, Me
