what would you tell your body if it could hear you?
you live in this body every day, but you might not have spoken to it kindly in a while. or honestly. or at all.
every day there's one live question, the same for everyone. answer it anonymously, see what other people said. it's all gone in seven days.
answer today's question →write a short letter to your body. start with the words, i want to tell you. and see what comes. it might be an apology. it might be a thank you. it might be something harder, frustration, grief, guilt for what you've put it through or not given it. don't try to be poetic. just be plain. write about a specific part if that helps, your hands, your back, your stomach. write about what it's carried for you without being asked. if this feels strange, that strangeness is worth writing about too.
- write about a time your body did something for you that you never acknowledged.
- tell your body what you're sorry for, even if it's small.
- describe the way you talk about your body to other people versus the way you talk to it alone.
this is for anyone who has spent years treating their body like a problem to solve rather than a thing to live with. for the person who is tired of the war.
