Having recently emerged from a complete psychological rebirth, it is baffling to me just how much of my initial programming I’ve surrendered and unlearned. My relationship with my body has completely transformed over time. It doesn’t matter for a second what the outward perception is of it; what other’s think or might think. I no longer give as much weight to other people’s comfortability level. My body is my sacred temple and entirely mine to play with. It is the vessel that allows the godly spirit which resides within me to have this wonderful human experience but it isn’t who I am. It was only borrowed for this lifetime. In my view, there’s no righteousness in either flaunting it or covering it up. Any such scenario is just fine. It’s my body. I can do whatever I want with it. Tribal people get on well interacting partially nude. To appear uncovered does not have to trigger sexual thoughts as there is no inherent sexual dimension to being naked; we just make it so. To me, it feels rather natural. This body has gotten me through a lot. I don’t particularly aim to show this body - I simply love the fuck out of it. I feel very much alive in this body. I admire its resilience and I finally, truly, feel comfortable in this skin of mine. I’m not exempt from insecurities. I have my fair share of them. I’m also well aware of them. Nowadays, my insecurities just don’t affect me in the same way they used to. I coexist with them. I am accepting of them. I strongly feel genuine confidence is built through self acceptance. Moving is a preferred healing tool I spontaneously and regularly reach for. I show up exactly how I show up; I don’t overthink spontaneity. Freedom is an act, not a state. I can’t remember who said this - perhaps the late John Lewis? When I move my body intuitively, I feel liberated. That is to say that I don’t refrain from sharing candid moments because my butt cheeks peeking out. That, to me, is but a visual representation of what freedom looks like, to me, when I’m in a safe space. I may not always feel safe in the world, but after being chronically ill for years and experiencing a difficult recovery, I finally feel safe again in this body. For a while there, I was completely disconnected from my body and greatly suffered from it. Quite frankly, I no longer enjoyed being “trapped” in it. I felt it no longer answered to me. Reattunement required steady care and patience - most of all, understanding. Along the way I had to learn and fully integrate the notion that I am not this body. I am the eternal Spirit which has taken possession of this body. It’s just flesh and bones. It’s skin. It’s density. It’s holly peaks and valleys and I see no reason to hide them. In fact, I see no use in trying one way or another. If it shows it shows, if it doesn’t it doesn’t. I just don’t think about it that much and can no longer care about what other people may or may not think of the sight of a naked body. I want to be very clear about the fact that my social media posts and just about everything that I do these days is radical self acceptance and unmasking. It’s never about “trying” to be weird or seeking attention. Whether the entire world sees it, a room full of people, or no one at all, it’s all the same to me. I see myself. In being my most authentic self, I am giving someone else permission to explore themselves and their surroundings in similar ways. It’s about acceptance myself exactly as I am I love, unapologetically. It’s about being proud of who I am. It’s about no longer feeling a need to hide my true self in order to feel safe. It’s about letting go entirely. Uniformity leads to demise. I am unique and so are you. Be yourself. Own your quirks and unsettling beauty. I love the skin I’m in and celebrating it is reinvigorating to me. All of it - creation. All of it - art. All of it - natural. As I carry seeking ways to emancipate myself, it’s not just my mind that is being set free, it’a also my body and the way that I interact with it. Get used to seeing that ass mane. That’s all I’m saying.
