Loving Your Body: Taryn Brumfitt and The Body Image Movement

3. One good thing about being a nurse

I'm firmly in the "no unnessisary surgery" zone. If I ever get tempted-- I think of some of the infections I've seen, Ick.

That being said, there's a lot of body decorations I do like. Tattoos--I have deliberately rejected them over the years for personal reasons, but I like them very much on other people. Creative makeup or hair on any gender.

I also spent years staying in very good shape, now I just don't care as much, but I enjoyed the strength and health. I might get into it again.

I like the roundness of bodies, we're made of interlocking circles, I like the softness of the woman in the second picture better than I like the hardness of the woman in the first, yet she also has roundness in the muscular shape of her body.

I can't remember that quote, I think it was from IBTP something like "my body is the medium I use to experience the world, the mechanism that takes me where I want to go" and in the end, that's what I appreciate the most, and what matters the most.
