An ode to my body

Dear body,

I love you. You are healthy and you are strong. I want to let you know that I am thankful for everything you have done for me. Throughout the years I have tested you. Whether it be abusing you during my days as an athlete or pumping you with chemicals to change your composition, you have still managed to be strong for me. During this transition I have focused on my brain and thoughts and have forgotten to thank you. With surgery in just a couple weeks we will be having our final change. I’m sorry for all that I’ve put you through, but after this you will be perfect to me. Scars and all. You are my story book. You are my life’s photo album. I love you.
