End of the day

As I gathered my things and turned off the lights,
I looked back at my office and felt a sense of calm.
A realization that I was building a life for myself.
This may not have been the path I originally set out to be on,
But it was the one laid before me.
I love my life and where it is headed.

Little did I know that a month or so later I would be violently thrust from that path only to find myself on a drastically different and more fulfilling one.

Beauty

"To ask women to become unnaturally thin is to ask them to relinquish their sexuality."
-Naomi Wolf

I am proud to be a woman.
I am proud to be 5' 2 3/4''
140lbs
a size 6 or 8, a medium/large
I love cheeseburgers and french fries, Mexican food, Italian food, pizza, chili cheese fries, mayonnaise, butter, and that's just the tip of the food iceberg
I am a woman and I love myself.
I love every inch of my body, including my muffin top.
I am strong.
My so called "thunder thighs" are a testament to this.
As are my callused feet.
I hate running but love to lift weights.
I do not have the size 2 body of a girl
I have the strong supple body of a woman.
I own my sexuality and what it means to be the woman I am.
