Enough.

You are enough.  You. The you that stands before the mirror and only sees flaws. You that wrinkles her nose at her stretch marks  Squeezes the fat on her stomach and imagines the knife of a plastic surgeon splicing and dicing it into the rock hard ab like stomach of 2006 Like a Boy Ciara …

Ojos y Piernas.

Ojos abiertos, piernas cerradas es que todo dicen pero solo a las mujeres ¿Don’t hombres have to keep their piernas cerradas también? Apparently not.
