YOUR BODY:

you experiment with it, do things with it before it’s ready to do those things, pierce it, ink it up, deprive it of sleep, scrape it, cut it, don’t always keep it the cleanest, overwork it, maybe you starve it or maybe you overfeed it, maybe you expose it to toxins (nicotine, alcohol, caffeine…), and so much else… maybe you really just don’t even think about your body much.


And what does your body do for you? Your brain, your heart, your liver, lungs, stomach, eyes, nose, mouth, bones, muscles, nails, etc… they all work together so that you can live your life as you please, so you can live your life with the freedom to experience many different things, so you can talk, see, think, feel, taste, touch, hear, run, jump, dance, sing, bike, skateboard, eat, sleep, walk, skip, hop, climb, stretch, kick, fight, breathe, scratch, punch, hug, kiss, have sex, -insert any verb here-… 


Your body does a lot for you. It holds up through a lot of high stress situations.


But what do you do for it? At the end of the day, do you even appreciate it? Do you put in any effort to keep it healthy, keep it in good shape? It may be useful now, but you won’t be youthful and energetic forever. You put your body through so much to try and make it what you want..


So, appreciate your body. It puts up with a LOT of crap from you.
