Acceptance

“I'm watching my body change in ways I wasn't prepared for and I don't know who to tell or what I'd even want them to say.”

“My coworker got the assignment I wanted and my manager said I was needed more on another project and I smiled like I agreed.”

“I've lost count of how many Sunday nights I've felt exactly this way and it's starting to feel permanent.”

“I took the compliment and said thank you and felt like a fraud the whole way home.”

“I keep comparing my relationship to people who've been together for twenty years and we've been together for ten months.”

“I haven't told anyone how bad it got last winter because I don't want it to be the thing they think of when they look at me.”
