I had to fast from a young age, and my body could not handle it. I pushed past the discomfort every time.
That’s how I stopped hearing my body. I ignored it when I needed rest, when I needed care, when I needed to recognize I was in unsafe situations.
Even years after I stopped fasting, hunger can make my body think it’s in danger.
Healing looks like the opposite. Paying attention to my body. Responding to its needs.
Keeping my word to myself, over and over:
I am here. I am listening. I am taking care.
