So instead of mumbling your miserable moments, YOU can incisively, entertainingly, and detailingly articulate them. Your heightened body awareness and highly developed verbal skills--(likening one self-image to a Picasso figure! is so evocative! )...Such "brain dumps" give us readers a mass to circle and contemplate for resonances to our own such moments. No one is repelled, trust me, Celeste. For myself, I never really lived in my body; it seemed accidental, almost. Which is a better starting point: feeling stuck inside your body, or feeling unattached and fleeting, unrooted from the body ? We're ALL in this struggle; all at some point along a spectrum of Self-Becoming. Keep on making yourself up--collaging your self with music and art-- and putting each self out there, Celeste. Oh--and move as much as you can fit in, not in a scheduled way; you don't work so. In bursts, if that's the way it happens.I'd dance a lot, if I were you!
