Broken Eyes
Looking at the question of how to move into a healthier 2021 posed so many answers. Some answers were the words of my grandmother echoing in my mind, smiling as she tells me I am a beautiful girl. I wish she was still here with me today, so I could ask her if I am also beautiful woman. The voice of my year ten sports teacher yelling at me to try harder. Followed by the gentle conversation with my friend Lucy, in gymnasium changerooms, telling me it is okay. Trying to convince me that I didn't need to be the fastest or the skinniest. And then telling my that Mr Jenston is just a bully. I cried a lot to Lucy during my high school years. I don't think Mr Jenston ever knew.
