I struggle with the signs of getting older - the wrinkles, the weight that is harder to lose and keep off, the gray hairs that are popping out everywhere.
I know I say these things at the risk of sounding vain but you cannot deny that we live in a world that places so much value on youth and outer beauty. My whole life I have been judged by how I look and for so long believed my only worth was in how I looked.
Seeing Stephanie's story is a reminder helping me to see otherwise. To borrow a quote from her story and changing it to fit me,
" I am Suzanne, and I am not my body"
Since there is no picture to go with this, I will be posting one later as well.
