My Body | Your Body

hello gorgeous human.

i trust all is well with you.

i'm coming to you, three weeks post-op from my explant surgery.

in case you don't follow me on the socials, i had my explant surgery on august 9th.
for more on my process with all of that, you can read my previous blog post here.

i feel amazing. i look beautiful. and so much has changed in three short weeks.

my health is better than ever. the biggest noticeable change so far has been how deep i can breathe. the change was immediate. i had no idea in all my daily HIIT training that my breath literally could not get past my implants. i would take large gasps of air in-between our exercises and i just assumed i was tired and working hard because it was never enough.

it was only 3 hours post surgery i felt the oxygen literally go to my belly.
life-changing to say the least.

there is no doubt my strict exercise and diet regimen leading up to the surgery has played a huge part in my quick recovery, not to mention my body not having to fight TWO foreign objects in my body while also taking care of all the others things it is fighting off while i blissfully live my day to day life.

i am grateful for this physical body of mine.
religion taught me early on that my flesh was bad...an enemy to me.

no wonder i became so disconnected from it.

i am grateful to be more connected to this intelligent masterpiece that houses my soul.

she tells me everything i need to know about myself...
where i'm at emotionally.
what foods work best, which don't.
she warns me of danger or will whisper a concern from time to time.

usually by the time our bodies are riddled with disease, the body has been begging to be heard for quite sometime. we are just too busy, too noise-filled to hear this masterpiece sharing wisdom of the ages, proven by millions of years as it learned to come into existence, with us.

so in honor to my body...my flesh...that which keeps me alive day in and day out, that which religion and all other man-made systems has tried to separate me from the experience of, would you tap in today? would you listen to your body?

what is your body speaking to you?
is she weary from neglect?
is he sharing a concern from a whisper of pain?
listen to your magnificent masterpiece...the body is always speaking.

i love you.
i love my humidititties.
that's all for now.
