A moment with myself

[Sara Tonin]

I like to walk and become so absorbed in my thoughts that I am only aware of myself. I am aware of my breathing, the way my arms sway when I walk, the way I don't have to be anywhere in that moment. I think about when I was a little girl. When I used to look in the mirror, wondering what I would look like, and wondering what kind of person I would be. At this point I am at peace with saying that I am not disappointed.
I am most "at home" in my skin as I have ever been.
My mother used to tell me that she thought that I was pretty but she didn't want to say it out loud for fear that I would be absorbed in myself. She had it all wrong. I smile to myself because, at this moment I AM absorbed in myself, it has nothing to do with being pretty and it has everything to do with being comfortable.

I know that feeling now too.

It is liberating isn't it?

Yes, very liberating Noodle.

Unicorn, sorry to hear that you are not comfy.

But I am glad to see that you have a positive outlook on it.
