We shape our bodies โ sometimes for health, sometimes for joy.
But often, if weโre honest, to feel seen. To feel in control.
To be wanted.
And when the attention comes, it works.
But only halfway.
Because being desired for the surface brings a strange emptiness.
They look โ but donโt see.
They want โ but not you.
And so the loop begins:
We show whatโs safe to admire,
and quietly hope someone notices the rest.
Iโve found myself here more than once.
And Iโm learning:
Real connection begins where the performance ends.
Not when we impress โ
but when we allow ourselves to just be.
Still practicing. Still learning.
So far my sunday thoughts on the beach in Barcelona โ๐ฝ
