Fringeish – The Positivity of Joyful Movement

I often record my practice to watch my body in motion. For years, I avoided looking at my body. I felt so disconnected from it that it seemed like a human suit I controlled. Although there was a sense of ownership, there was also an inexplicable distance. When I began to reintegrate all the parts of myself, I took the first step by observing myself again. I truly saw myself in entirety and allowed myself to feel everything that came with it. I sat with all the self-talk, which was usually negative, and all the emotions, gradually separating what was mine from what society had imposed on me. It wasn’t easy at first, and even today, it can be challenging to watch my body move. The undulating waves that course through my body as I step back, the jiggles and shimmies as I arch and bend. But I claim it all. It’s all me, and every inch of me is deserving of respect, compassion, and love. Sometimes I struggle to offer myself those things, and that’s okay. I won’t demonize my softness any longer. ___ #fatliberation #riotsnotdiets #radicalselflove #thebodyisnotanapology #riotsnotdiets #effyourbeautystandards
