Do You Say That Tree Isn't Pretty

I Literally Would Go To See Tina Turner Any Opportunity I Had Because Being In The Presence Of Tina Turner Was Like Being In The Presence Of Transformative Energy, And Feminist Transformative Energy. I Remember Thinking To Myself, Whatever This Is, It's Revolution. Whatever This Is, It's Change Embodied In A Woman.

I Wake Up Every Day And I Think, 'i'm Breathing! It's A Good Day.'

Between The Combination Of Judeo-christian Religious 'be Good Be Good Be Good' And Capitalist 'something's Wrong With You, Buy This' And The Parental Upbringing, Which Is 'you're Wrong, You're Not Thin Enough, You're Not Smart Enough' I Mean, Hello! We Don't Have A Shot.

Stop Trying To Fix Your Body. It Was Never Broken.

For Me, So Much Of My Life Has Been This Attempt To Find My Way Back Into My Body. I Tried Various Forms, From Promiscuity, To Eating Disorders, To Performance Art. And I Think It Wasn't Until I Got Cancer, Where I Was Suddenly Being Pricked And Ported And Chemoed And Operated On, That I Suddenly Just Became Body. I Was Just A Body. And It Was In That, In That Finally Landing In Myself That I Really Discovered The World In My Body.
