MY BODY TELLS THE STORY OF MY LIFE!
Part 2
So I think my body deserves that their stories are told and that is what I'm going to do.
Than we have my face and my mind.
Both in good to very good condition.
One shows wear and tear, the other gets better and better.
I made friends with my face. That was a process. Being a teenager I was convinced my nose
is too big and my teeth are uneven.
Than I learned that boys and also man don't see what I see. It took time for me to believe it.
But I had some relationships and was married, which gave me two beautiful daughters. So it
can't be that bad. Yes, I know we are told to love ourselves first. Let's be honest: which
teenager believes this? I wish somebody told me, when I was 13 or 14 years old. Maybe it's
something we have to experience.
Today I like my face.
It´s lively and expressiv.
I can communicate without words.
Behind that is my mind, my brain. For sure the part of my body that made my biggest
successes and caused my worst days.
Actually it's a high performance machine - and sometimes it has a burn out.
I have dyslexia and worked myself into plenty new jobs and tasks successfully.
At times I am depressiv and I´m eloquent and funny.
I enjoy parts of BPD, that's why I can make quick decisions precisely and can read people.
That's what makes me special.
It doesn't define me, it's just a part of who I am.

My hands can't rest. When I do nothing I still have to keep them busy by drawing little sketches or crocheting.
