It would be redundant to say that every story written was poetry (because some of them were actually poems), but everyone's story hit me like a truck. I ate these stories up and felt so many emotional aspects of myself be triggered (that usually only happens during my therapy sessions), at first a bit too hard, however the more you read the more heartwarming these aspects became.
These were raw and real relationships shared between the authors and their bodies. These voices spanned a variety of subject matters showing the readers that acceptance doesn't have one look. Its in the way we wear clothing, seek out physical pleasure (both vanilla and kinky), overcoming hardships and so many additional ways that we can appreciate our true authentic selves.
Reading them brought me back to my own struggles with body image and acceptance where I wanted to sit and reflect. It was uncomfortable, but necessary. Necessary to reflect and re-establish the love and support that a lot of use have chosen to neglect and forego just to "fit in". Overall a truly emotional read!
