“She imagined, now, what it would be like to accept herself completely. every mistake she had ever made. every mark on her body. Every dream she hadn’t reached or pain she had felt. Every lust or longing she has suppressed.
She imagine accepting it all. The way she accepted nature. The way she accepted a glacier or a puffin or the breach of a whale.
She imagine seeing herself as just another brilliant freak of nature. Just another sentient animal, trying their best.
And I’m doing so, she imagined what it was like to be free.”
