Yesterday saw 40 years of marriage. This was actually taken four years ago in Glen Affric, but it sums up how I feel about the wonderful woman better than I can express in words.

This is difficult for me.
I've shown plenty but usually not my stomach.
There are scars, dents, stretch marks and goals with memories of *perfect but taken for granted and hated. I try not to think in terms of fat or not. I see a body that has housed a human. One that has played hard, worked harder, and loved throughout. Someone who has been sucker punched countless times yet still stands tall and keeps trying, not for perfection, not anymore, but for joy. *Perfection is attainable but it's not sustainable. It's a singular pinnacle of a moment that has nothing to do with the big picture. I don't see perfection but I do see beauty. For the first time in my adult life, I feel beautiful, and I owe myself an apology, and a huge hug.
There is progress, determination, and softness - something I've yearned to not have to hide and so I no longer will.

Rio is 40!!!!
Happy 40 years to this iconic, yet amazing album and to quote from Annie Zaleski's book about the album:
"Rio captures a timeless experience-- figuring out who you are and what you want to be"

I promise...
To be kind when speaking of and talking to myself.
To let my inner child always know she is safe, secure, wanted, and loved. Without conditions.
To appreciate my silences and the loud moments, too.
To be gentler with myself when I absorb, feel, or cry too much knowing it is okay and I am not too much.
To know, deep down in my bones, I am enough.
To stop putting myself last and insist on pouring from an empty cup.
To fully embody my version of and continue living in a way that brings balance, joy, discovery, passion, and freedom.
This last year was pieces falling apart and into a different space and vibe. It has taken some time to sort through. Longer than I thought. Some things I had to sit with longer than I wanted to. It takes every fiber of being and strength to plant your feet, turn around, and face you and your own BS, especially when you have to discern between what is yours and someone else's with a fine toothed comb. I asked the difficult questions and sought truth, not comfort, not a side, not validation - and I found that which led to understanding.
I am starting over. When I decided to stop being what was expected I ceased to exist to people I loved and who I thought loved me. I wasn't myself for years and they noticed and they didn't care. Still don't. I have been excited to turn 40. No, really, I have been looking forward to turning 40 since I was 16, like it is a crowning achievement of femininity and maybe I would feel myself and I do truly feel as though I am coming into my own. It has been excruciating watching my mother, siblings, extended family, remind me of my place or more accurately, lack there of. No more. I have fought so hard for so long and I am exhausted.
Time to lighten up, let go of what isn't mine for good, and stop letting others load their mountains on my shoulders. I have work to do, and I'm a good person in light of it all, and right now all I want is to have a good time and shine so that's precisely what I am going to do. 🥂
