Antes de que las horas y los años borren tu infancia, juega mucho. diviértete, sueña y construye tu vida con alegrías e ilusiones. Antes de que los días se repitan y acumulen, hasta diluir tu niñez, colúmpiate en la inocencia, brinca, corre, baila, canta y, si así lo deseas, arrástrate en el césped, sin importar que tu ropa se enlode o tus rodillas queden marcadas por las caídas. Antes de que tus primeros años de vida se mezclen con los siguientes, hasta que una mañana o una tarde descubras que la noche te ha alcanzado, vive contento, aprende que la existencia ofrece dulzura y amargura y que, en muchos casos, uno elige el condimento y el sabor.

Letters to our Bodies ( Conversations with Lebo and Nsatu) — Sanctuary of Greatness

We get so caught up in our daily routines that we forget how important it is to appreciate our body. Given that we are only given one physical body, we owe it to ourselves to take adequate care of it.Women, on the other hand, are regularly exposed to body shaming, either by males or by other women. Whether we’re thin, chubby, tall, or short, we’ve all been subjected to body shaming in some way or another at some point in our lives. We’d like to voice out against body shaming in honor of Women’s Month, which finishes today. It’s terrible to have to deal with body shaming, especially with the insecurities that we have as women. In today’s post, we write a letter to…
