Many pieces of my past selves have been left behind. I once saw their loss as a trail of breadcrumbs I could one day follow back to who I once was, but over time, I’ve realized I am better off who I am now than then. I did not deserve to be hurt in such ways, however the person I became due to those fragments breaking off is a masterpiece in the making. Some days are just harder to see the sculpture hiding in the marble. But I’m damn sure going to keep carving it out.
I wish the same for you.
• Excerpt from the collection “Sick” by Jody Chan (@jodyr.chan)

when Jody Chan said "i was born homesick in my own body does it ever get better?" and when Topaz Winters said " i was so cruel to my body & still it never once faltered in kicking /screaming/ fighting me alive." and when Ocean Vuong said "the body is a blade that sharpens by cutting" and when Warsan Shire said "my body is burning with the shame of not belonging" and when Blythe Baird said "I'll admit it : I blamed her for teaching me how to be cruel to my body, because she let me watch her set fire to her own"

You never stay long enough to be left. (...) Why postpone the instinct to unanchor? You’d practiced for such a separation from your body you would peel your heart-soaked flesh from your bones & love the empty you left behind if only to be bodiless & therefore needless.
