reflection on beginnings 10.18

hearing the stories on thursday was intense. i admire those who were able to go up and speak about those issues...they made themselves so vulnerable to hundreds of strangers. that's pretty cool.
the issue i most related to was body image. i think that for most girls it's an issue. i was a chunky kid until high school and was so self conscious. after the chunky stage i was really thin...then i found a happy medium. but even since finding a healthy weight range it's never perfect, but i've learned to love myself anyway.
seeing ourselves as god sees us can save us all. if we look at our bodies as gifts given to us by god, whether we have been abused by others or judged by ourselves, i think it's easier to be satisfied and accept.
so...here's one of those awkward endings to a blog, because i'm not really sure how to close.
