<font color=crimson>This Moment

By <font color=crimson>Faith

<font size=2> Here in this moment (as it fades and shimmers) I can feel it growing within buried deep and forgotten, beginning as a mere feeling. It grows from a glance: tracing features, forgetting flaws, uncovering beauty, in this skin like silk, (pale, translucent) in this hair falling in waves, (soft, touchable) in these eyes seeking depth, (sparkling blue) in this shell-- this body of mine. And in this moment I can honestly say "I am beautiful". (I love the gently undulating line of my hips; I love the angles of my bones; the soft curve of my lips; I love the sadows that settle on my shoulders, pooling on skin; I love the arch of my back, the graceful line of my neck; I love these slender, long fingers and delicate, shy toes; I love me.) But I know that tomorrow may reveal another side, a newfound self-loathing. I must soak up this beauty while I can. Here in this moment.

Self accepting is such a hard thing to do. Your writing is so brilliant, and it is filled with hope for those who are struggling!
