Photo, inspiration, and constant spiritual support by @willoughbydouglas DM for contact and rates ☀️
I said this out loud for the first time about a year ago. I keep saying it to varying levels of support and criticism. And I’m going to keep saying it. And write it on my mirror. And slap it on social media. And then tattoo it onto the palm of my hand:
Like so many other people, I don’t know if I’ll ever see myself as attractive. I’d love to get there, but, thus far, all of my attempts to re-shape my thinking on this have tilted towards vanity, or judging others. And I refuse to replace one hurtful way of thinking with another.
So, I’ve decided, instead, the most beautiful, most powerful, the most stunning, sensual, and sexy parts of me have nothing to do with the way I look. And anyone looking only at my appearance is missing all the best parts of me.
So anyway, I like this photo because I look brave. And because someone I love took it. 😘

I love the picture of my body being formed.
The idea that, like clay,
I was carefully molded and emerged soft and malleable into this wild world.
I like imagining that each of us,
like a marble statue,
weather every painful strike to reveal a softer curve-
a more keen and delicate eye.
I delight in thinking that our bodies,
like any work of art,
carry tastes of each draft into its perfected form.

I hear a lot of sermons, essays, poems…etc
wax on about how our body is a gift.
It’s usually in the wrapping of a message on being good stewards of our forms:
eating well,
exhibiting temperance,
jogging,
juicing…
I want to think of my body as a gift because my limbs still carry me even when I look at them with disgust,
my heart still beats when I break it,
and no matter how little sleep or food or tenderness it’s had,
this fragile form can still rise each morning.

Flashback to the first rehearsals for We Need Better Friends! We’re a small but determined group and everyone has put 200% into making this show a reality. It’s kinda nuts to think how far it’s all come in so little time. How far you ask? You’ll have to see it find out! Ticket link is in our bio, so be sure to grab them before they’re gone! Also, if you’ve read this far, feel free to post what your favorite dipping sauce is for pizza, if you have one. We’ll start, Garlic Butter.
