Pynch Week Day 2: “It won’t be what you imagined, but it’ll be just as good.”
I loved this quote so much. It just,, means so much more than just Adam’s plans for his education. So much has happened that he didn’t plan for, but it’s so much better.
Last week, we got to meet @kaoticspoonie and her new puppy, Mischief! In spite of time and lighting constraints, we had a blast and managed to capture the essence of sweet & sassy Missy. Here are a few favorites from the session!

My tummy doesn’t have to be cute. It holds my internal organs. My thighs don’t have to “crush men’s skulls”. I use them to carry myself. My stretch marks don’t have to be tiger stripes I earned. They came when I grew.
Stop.

This!
I feel like even body positivity is too focused on, like, the appearance of the body. I know I became a whole lot happier with my body when I started thinking of it less in terms of how it looked (to me or anyone else) and realized, that, like…
When I feel cool breeze on my skin on a really hot day, my body did that for me.
When I step into a bath after a hike, and my muscles ache, but in a good way, and the steam all around me makes me feel like a flower blooming, my body did that for me.
And the hike before it, and standing on a large rock breathing the raw winter air seeing the power of the half-frozen river. That too.
When I’ve had a plate of pasta puttanesca, and I chopped and sauteed the ingredients and now I’m full-but-not-uncomfortable, and warm all over, and perfectly content, my body did that for me.
My body doesn’t have to look awesome to be awesome. It’s awesome because it’s where I live.
