31 Days of Blogging: IX - What's your best physical feature?
What's your best physical feature?
The cliche answers? My hair. My eyes. My chest. I play Russian Roulette with which one of these I list when I list usually. I always have. I'm somewhere between only choosing one and two. But, really, since I read this question a week or so ago, I've been thinking of an entirely different answer. A new one.
One that you can't see on the outside, and is arguably half mental and half physical, and that's the sheer endurance of managing everything that comes my body. My knees, my ankles, my wrists, the compressed discs, debilitating migraines, reflux, food rejection, hypersensitivity, the adhd and ocd. Taking all of it and pushing through, every normal day, but especially on the worst days.
On the very worst days, still pushing through so I can go to work, and when not at work, just to be able to be outside, walking under gorgeous green trees. To work, to play, to laugh, and love in and of this whole world of miracles around me. Because the world is such a beautiful place, and I refuse to be slowed down and held back by anything in the make-up of my physical detriments.
I think that is my favorite physical feature currently, because it makes me love my body even move. The magic and work it is capable of doing for me all the time, even at the very worst of times. Proving I can make even the worst of times bearable and beautiful. I'm not positive if it fits the question or not, maybe you'll weigh in and tell me. But I think that's the one I'm settled on for tonight.
