Breathtaking and wonderful. Good for yo...Wonderful! Breathtaking and wonderful. Good for you! <BR/><BR/>I was born with a hole in the heart and for most of my childhood hated my body seeing it as weak. But a wonderful woman friend of mine (an ex English teacher) told me that my operation scars were a mark of what I had been through and survived. Real strength is not in muscle, but in being able to endure and survive what life throws at you.<BR/><BR/>Last academic term, I was a life model for art students at Loughborough University. It was no big deal at all. It felt good to feel a pride in my skinny body because it is a body that shows what I've been through.<BR/><BR/>Tho' admittedly I haven't danced in my living room naked... yet!Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863034333159354009noreply@blogger.com
