And I think that that's exactly what I feel now. I feel like full in all of those things.
What I most love about my body is that I feel incredibly strong. Like, I, my partner jokes with me because I'll pick up giant suitcases and just kind of charge up the stairs with them. And I used to feel, you know, everything on me is big. I've got giant feet and I've got giant boobs and I have got, like, giant everything, and I used to really try to hide that or make myself smaller.
I feel, like part of the thing about aging is that I let myself take up space.
And I think as a lawyer, and as a lawyer who is going into, like, tiny little towns in places that are not used to seeing people who look like me, period, but especially not at the defendant's table, not being a defendant. Taking up space is an important way for me to be an advocate for my clients and for myself.
So, for me, my body is about power, and so I feel like that's something that has come with me with age.
