With every year that passes, she gains even more. New stretch marks, new scars.
She looks at herself and sees all the changes. All the experiences. All the memories.
She's proud of every flaw.
Those flaws gave her three beautiful children.
Her body is covered in stories.
She didn't always see it that way. At first it was hard to see everything changing before her eyes. More weight here and there. Lots of stretch marks. A big scar on her abdomen.
But now, she sees memories. She sees changes within herself. She loves the person she is now, and so how could she not love the way she got here?
She hopes her little girl will grow with the scars she earns too, and love every part of herself.
She hopes she can be the person to help her daughter see that her body, too, holds the stories of her life.
Her body is covered in stories.
