Love Your Body

Some friends of mine went to an annual Halloween event our town has every year.  I love going to this event.  Kids, adults and even pets are dressed up in costumes.  Last night there was even a Ninth Doctor!  And I missed it all. 

I missed it because I knew I wouldn't be able to walk around without being in pain.  It hurts to stand or bend my left foot too much.  My right thigh is constantly on fire because I've had to shift all my weight onto it because it's stronger and my right foot. 

I'm not jealous that my friends went just envious.  I feel like I'm missing out on life.  You never realize how much you rely on your body to take you places and help you enjoy life until one part of it isn't working properly. 

I urge everyone to stop hating your body because it doesn't look the way that media and society say it should look.  What does it matter if it can move you?  I'm not saying you shouldn't care what your body looks like because yes, looks are important but it's what's inside the package that is the most important.  And if you look hard enough you will find parts that you love for purely aesthetic values. 

Just remember that you should love your body more for what it can do than what it looks like.  Love your body because it takes you were you need to go and more importantly where you want to go.  It helps you to live life and be happy.
